A tourism strategy has been developed for North Ayrshire which was initially aimed at making the most of the easing of lockdown restrictions.
The council last year set out to make the visitor experience as effective as possible by drawing up new plans aimed at:
- Creating a Visitor Management Plan to coordinate visitor management activities across the Council and communicate these.
- Improving the visitor experience that North Ayrshire provides, whilst mitigating adverse impacts on communities,
- Keeping litter management under control, especially in busy areas and improve toilet provision and take charge of ferry queues at Largs and the impact they have in the town centre.
- Street furniture and play equipment was also upgraded and there were discussions with motorhome drivers about how they could access their vehicles responsibly. It was also agreed to direct them to the most appropriate locations.
