Northern Regions Visitor Transport Seminar
These presentations were presented at the Northern Regions Visitor Transport Seminar in November 2008 held at the Red Rooms in Manchester.
The event generated a new enthusiasm and a fresh agenda for changing visitor travel behaviour. There was a lively debate in which key influencers from National Parks, Transport Authorities, Development Agencies & Tourism organisations and others developed and exchanged ideas.
Board Member Pam Warhurst set out Natural England’s vision and challenges for the natural environment resulting from the high levels of car based access. Her presentation covered key messages - ‘More visitors using the alternatives to the car, or using the car less’ and ‘reducing the need to travel – creating natural green space close to where people live’. Delegates were also briefed on the current policy context and evidence base for sustainable visitor travel.
