HC Deb 28 June 1999 vol 334 c41W
14. Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what assistance he plans to provide for English seaside resorts. [87210]

Janet Anderson

Seaside resorts represent a very important sector of our domestic holiday market. "Tomorrow's Tourism", our tourism strategy, sets out the action that resorts need to take to adapt to changes in holiday-taking trends. It includes a model eight-stage regeneration plan. The English Tourism Council will work with regional and local authorities to encourage adoption of this model plan and the sharing of best practice by seaside resorts.
