RURAL REBRANDING:
Cornwall
-
Around 750,000 visitors per annum
-
One of the UK’s top tourist destinations
-
The eden project has brought in £600 million was spent by tourists in the first three years
-
Locals benefit through jobs (400 full-time staff & 75% were previously unemployed; Eden has reduced Cornwall’s unemployment overall by 6%), local food producers (all food and drink is locally-sourced), demand for local holiday accommodation (bookings have doubled for holiday cottages since 2001).
-
A multiplier effect has operated as Eden Project has helped attract more people to Cornwall. Other local attractions have been boosted (e.g. National Maritme Museum at Falmouth)
