Planning for Tourism Seminar

Hampshire Planning Seminar

On the 26th November 2008 Tourism South East hosted a planning seminar for Hampshire in partnership with Hampshire County Council.

The main purpose of this seminar was to disseminate information on potential hotel development across Hampshire.

Other subjects on the agenda covered the whole of the tourism spectrum including, Bed and Breakfast accommodation, self catering including camping and caravanning, and visitor attractions.

This sub-regional seminar followed on from a regional seminar that Tourism South East hosted in 2007.

Regional Seminar

Tourism South East hosted a seminar for the whole of the South East region at Denbies Vineyard in Surrey with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The main purpose of the seminar was to promote the DCLG's 'Good Practice Guide on Planning for Tourism'.

The seminar was a great success and gave planners across the region the opportunity to liaise with representatives from the DCMS, Tourism SouthEast and the tourism industry in order to be best able to make planning decisions with tourism being a major consideration.
