| CoaST* |
Tourism is the biggest single employer in Cornwall, representing over 24% of the county's annual GDP and creating work for one out of five Cornish inhabitants.
Unsurprisingly therefore, the Cornish community relies enormously on the tourism industry, which in turn relies almost entirely on its principle asset: the Cornish physical environment.
The physical environment embraces the natural, historical, cultural and industrial heritage past and present; the host communities who live and work across the county; and the myriad businesses, groups, local industries, support services and infrastructure which serve both the tourists, and the tourism industry operators. In short, food, transport, accommodation, procurement, energy, waste, wildlife, natural environment, retail, people, lifestyles and every other area of our lives have input into and are affected by this one industry. The CoaST Project's objective is to drive forward the sustainable development of these issues via dedicated staff operating across the county.
The CoaST Project aspires to maximise community engagement and opportunity, social, environmental and economic sustainability, and the desire to work from the ground up from within the sector. The over-arching and driving aim of this initiative is to encourage existing, and catalyse an increase in, sustainable behaviour via, and in partnership with, the tourism industry. |
