More than 9 million people now visit the National Forest each year. Together with our partners and tourism businesses our ambition is to grow the sector sustainably, to provide accessible and inclusive experiences for all, and to ensure people leave with a greater connection to nature inspired by the National Forest.
We have produced a design guide for sustainable tourism accommodation development that is targeted at landowners, operators, investors and developers. The guide sets out a rationale for encouraging new and retrofitted tourist accommodation development that will help to create a distinctive National Forest character and sense of place, and that can contribute to a net zero carbon future.
