The seasonal nature of tourist employment (30 per cent of jobs) is a problem for Rye, but not amenable to change in the short term. The plan must take account of any planning changes which would (a) diminish Rye's appeal as a tourist destination and (b) reduce the money that visitors spend in the town when they come. It should ensure that as high a proportion of the spend as possible stays in the area.
