As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Roberts introduced the report on behalf of Councillor Healey and read out a prepared statement. 

The report highlighted that tourism generated an estimated annual contribution to the Flintshire economy of £325m, supporting around 3,300 jobs.

The draft Destination Management Plan had been co-produced with a wide partnership of businesses and partner agencies to take a co-ordinated approach to supporting the development of the visitor economy sector and responding to the challenges and opportunities that would be faced over the next few years.

The Chief Officer (Planning, Environment and Economy) explained that the report had been submitted to Environment and Economy Overview and Scrutiny Committee where the workstreams had been scrutinised, focussing on the Council being reliant on shared prosperity funding, tourism tax, tax on second homes and the toilet strategy.

RESOLVED:

That the draft Destination Management Plan be endorsed.
