Tourism and the Visitor Economy
Lancaster
Welcome to our industry pages.
We are the Economic Development and Tourism Service at Lancaster City Council with the aim of promoting our district of ‘City, Coast and Countryside’.
The Visitor Economy is worth over £260 million to our district, supporting over 4,500 jobs, with more than 4.6 million visits a year to our main visitor destinations of Morecambe, Lancaster and the rural areas. The industry also plays a key role in economic development and regeneration.
Our strategic objectives are to develop the local tourism product, actively market the district, provide high quality visitor services and integrate local destination management to improve the visitor experience.
These dedicated industry pages (see menu on left) provide details on how we can help you develop and promote your business. We also have information on industry news, research, current strategies and useful contacts.
