Future musing on a county with less tourism

Like Porthtowan Residient says a reliance on tourism is something I'm thinking about. My thoughts are purely speculative and just based on my perception of things.

I'm aware that ideas are much easier said than done but I wonder what our County could be like with a slow shift away from tourism and towards something else that still keeps people in work...mining gone, what if tourism faded a bit next. But then what and how would tourism based business adapt?

Perhaps a future focus might be about a better and more enjoyable local environment for residents in Cornwall AND elsewhere, perhaps if local life in all parts of the country was improved then the need to "escape" would be less. Maybe pressure in work and built up areas elsewhere is part of the issue here so new directions can't be done in a Cornwall bubble.

As the world becomes more digital then the need too physically get customers to the SW to make money could be offset with other avenues.

Don't get me wrong i do believe people should be able to travel and explore the world, but just ease off a bit perhaps and in turn benefit the environment.
