Asked by Blake StephensonConservativeDepartment for Culture, Media and SportTabled Answered 10 June 2025UIN 55487

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department plans to encourage higher numbers of international tourists to visit protected landscapes.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Yes, we want to encourage international tourists to experience the full range of the UK’s visitor attractions including our world class museums, our internationally-renowned bars and restaurants, or indeed our protected landscapes. International tourists are increasingly drawn to the UK's national parks, coastal areas, and gardens and are interested in eco-tourism and sustainable travel.
