Regional Seminar
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.
