Summary
Prior to their abolition in 2012, regional development agencies in the UK acknowledged that the tourism and leisure sectors were an increasingly important feature in their strategic plans.

The team have developed tools and models to answer the future-orientated ‘what-if’ questions and to consider the indirect effects of tourism.
