CAIRNGORM MOUNTAIN CREATING A SHARED VISION Clarity | Vision | Strategy | Direction CONTEXT IN AVIEMORE AND GLENMORE CORRIDOR The Aviemore and Glenmore Aviemore Corridor is a destination and focus of accommodation and leisure activity in the Strath, that together with Rothiemurchus, through which it passes, attracts 40% Glenmore Corridor (Activity) of all visitors to the National Park. It sits at the heart of some of Scotland’s most important 5KM nature conservation sites and an expanding forest network, and accesses the country’s most extensive montane plateau, all in the context of a destination central to the local economy. It is the starting Base Station point for many visitors as they (Arrival & Orientation) head into the surrounding landscape, and the terminus of the road at Cairngorm Ptarmigan Restaurant Mountain’s Base Station is a critical point of arrival and orientation. VISITORS & TOURISM Tourism is extremely important to the local economy, as shown in the table. For this analysis, the local area has been defined as the Aviemore and Glenmore Corridor. This is where most of the workforce is likely to be based and the majority of local impacts from the resort’s activities will accrue.
