Working with others

One of the projects we work on is 'Give the Driver a Break'. We worked with the national park authority to produce a series of leaflets designed to help walkers go experience beautiful parts of the Lake District and Cumbria using public transport to try and reduce the traffic congestion in the county.

We have also provided information on Cumbria Tourism’s website for visitors about getting around by public transport. For visitor information about Cumbria go to www.golakes.co.uk. For more information about Cumbria Tourism see www.cumbriatourism.org.

We are members of the Tourism and Conservation Partnership, a unique organisation that raises money from tourism businesses and their customers to put back into conservation projects in Cumbria. The Partnership has raised £1 million for projects such as red squirrel conservation and repairing upland footpaths. For more information see www.ourstolookafter.co.uk.

We are members of Cumbria Tourism and as well as promoting sustainable tourism through the Sustainable Tourism Award, we raise awareness of the need to consider the environment as well as the economy. In 2008 we helped shape Cumbria Tourism’s strategy which explains how they see tourism development from 2008 to 2018. We are pleased to see that the first priority for tourism is the landscape.
