Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support the tourism sector.

The Visitor Economy is a key sector in all of our constituencies.

DCMS continues to deliver a generational change in how we develop visitor destinations in England through the Local Visitor Economy Partnership Programme.

VisitBritain’s upcoming ‘Starring GREAT Britain’ campaign will invite the world to come to visit the UK’s iconic film and TV locations.

I am chairing the inaugural meeting of the Government’s new Visitor Economy Advisory Council next week, which will play a pivotal role in co-creating and delivering a growth strategy which I hope to publish later this year.
