  • Thanet Destination Management Plan Update Report from Tourism Works
    Thanet Destination Management Plan Update report from Tourism Works EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document is a report on activities to date of the Thanet Destination Management Plan (DMP), including the development of the action plans for each of the three priorities, the areas selected for specific focus, the activity being undertaken, the results to date, and the people involved. 1. OVERVIEW OF THE DMP The DMP is about acknowledging and understanding the importance of tourism in Thanet. Thanet District Council Cabinet formally approved the 5-year DMP in September 2013. It aims to maximise tourism opportunities, improve facilities, attract tourism-related inward investment, create resources and connect businesses, to put Thanet firmly on the destination map. It has been agreed that this will be achieved by • ensuring that visitors have a great experience in Thanet, developing new experiences to attract more tourists and targeting new higher spending visitors looking for a short break. • presenting the three towns more strongly together, playing to the strength of each and making it easy for the visitor to get around. • investing in the experience of our beaches - Thanet’s strongest natural assets • prioritising investment in new quality character accommodation to encourage visitors to come and stay for longer. • making the most of Thanet’s location – the natural coastline, the big skies, the proximity to London by high-speed train and the potential new visitors that brings. • stimulate the environment to encourage investment in new quality visitor attractions, visitor experiences and places to stay.
