Be less reliant on Tourism

It is time that Cornwall became less reliant on toursim otherwise we become more vulnerable in circumstances such as Covid. Having c 60% of your economy based on tourism is suicide.

July the 4th will see a Tsunami of visitors ignoring self distancing, bringing Covid to Cornwall, grid locking roads etc. etc.

I realise that current businesses need then but we should plan to rely less on them.


Remember we live here we are not DisneyWorld we are a community and we need proper sustainable industry not just tourists. I think like so many countries I have visisted there should be a tourist tax. This would be added to Hotel bill or nightly fee on campsites. This could go towards building a more sustainable economy for Cornwall.
