The Economic Value of Protected Landscapes

ONE NorthEast commissioned a report into 'The Economic Value of Protected Landscapes in the North East of England'. It concluded:

'Research demonstrates that the five protected landscapes considered here represent an important asset to the North East region, accounting for 11% of all tourism activity. Through businesses and the effects on tourism these areas generate output of £700 million and support 14,000 jobs. For the majority of businesses in these areas, the quality of the landscape and the environment was considered to be a factor in their performance.'
