15 ways to help tourism

Article Abstract:

The UK government announced its strategy for tourism in Feb 1999. The strategy document, 'Tomorrow's Tourism', includes a vast amount of data and a number of action plans. The government perceives the strategy as a contributory factor for the development of tourism in the UK, and pledges to have an annual tourism summit meeting. Key aspects of the government's main 15-point action plan for tourism include the development of a new strategic focus for the English Tourist Board, increased government support for regional tourism, and a focus on training to improve standards of service.

Saving lives or running rural pubs?

Article Abstract:

Many rural public houses could close if the UK government proceeds with its plans to lower the blood/alcohol limit from 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood to 50 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood, according to the Brewers and Licensed Retailers Association (BLRA). About 1 fatality out of 7 is drink-related and the government wants to see this number reduced further. The BLRA claim there is a hardcore of drinkers responsible for breaking the law and the lowered drinking limit will have a greater effect on the leisure industry than on drink-related fatalities.

Finding the right package

Article Abstract:

Local authorities should cooperate with the private sector in sports facility development. The Government could encourage joint ventures by allowing councils to use more than 50% of land sale funds for new facilities. Tax incentives would encourage private investment. Capital allowances and reduced uniform business rate for leisure facilities could lead to improved provision.
