Fisheries White Paper response
Although not a mainstream tourism consultation the Fisheries White Paper does discuss future fisheries community funding and references the Coastal Community Fund which is of direct relevance to coastal tourism interests. British Destinations have taken the opportunity to major on the importance of tourism to the coast and importance of the CCF to non-fisheries communities. The aim being to ensure that Defra don’t presume that the current CCF could in part act as a substitute for the current European Maritime and Fisheries Funding support for UK Fisheries which ends post Brexit in 2020.
