Tourism: Regeneration Projects
- Question
- What resource help towards major regeneration projects in English seaside resorts has been given by the English Tourist Board in the past four years.
- Answer
-
The English Tourism Board (ETB) was abolished in 1999 and replaced by the English Tourism Council (ETC), which then merged with the British Tourism Authority to form VisitBritain in April 2003. The ETC and its successor body have not made any direct contributions to major regeneration projects over this period. Its prime responsibility is marketing. VisitBritain received £12.9 million grant-in-aid from my department to market England domestically in 2004–05. Specific marketing campaigns for example enjoyEngland, Waterside England and SeaBritain have encouraged tourists to visit England's seaside resorts thus providing indirect support.
