Sustainable Tourism Forum
Making the sustainable attainable, together.
Sustainable tourism has long been hot on the agenda within Cumbria. With the area relying on its breathtaking landscapes and its rich cultural heritage, there has always been a need to preserve these in order to maintain a healthy visitor economy. The local tourism boards and authority have strategies for it, charities have campaigns for it, and business owners have a passion for it.
Nurture Lakeland hosts a regular Sustainable Tourism Forum to bring all of these individuals together. The forum enables members to share ideas, learn about new initiatives and celebrate successes.
Members of the Forum bring together public transport bodies, business owners, landscape conservationists, academics, transport advisors, campaigners, local authority representatives and environmentalists. The group has been made up of some key conservation players and powerful drivers from the County Council, National Park Authority and Cumbria Tourism. Together this group can use their knowledge, experience, networks and expertise to work in partnership and put sustainable tourism in action.
