Respondent: Tourism South East

We are disappointed that tourism/visitor economy opportunities do not have greater prominence. There are references to tourism but these tend to be fragmented. Given the importance of this sector to the economy and social well-being of Rother, we would expect it to have its own section. Guidance on tourism policies are contained in the South East Plan and the recently updated RPG9. Both give due regard to the benefits associated with policies which encourage the wise growth and management of tourism. TSE has produced its own guidance for local authorities preparing LDFs (enclosed with letter).
