To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how the tourism strategy will help Scarborough and Whitby to develop affordable family holidays. [77387]

As our new tourism strategy, "Tomorrow's Tourism", says, the future of our seaside resorts depends on all those involved in both private and public sectors working together to develop the sort of products now needed, with the quality and value for money which visitors expect. The strategy suggests an eight stage regeneration plan for resorts and also identifies further action which should help increase access to tourism for those with low incomes, for families, elderly people and people with disabilities.
