Creating Great Destinations - The Guide to Place Making

Here in England’s Northwest, tourism is one of our most
important and vibrant sectors. Growing the visitor economy is one
of our primary aims.
We have realised, however, that this is more than simply
building attractions, hotels and resorts, important as they are;
It’s about creating “attractive places”.
This means making places attractive for local people to spend
time as well as providing places that are appealing for visitors.
One leads to the other. Put simply, good places to live are good
places to visit.
