C9. High-quality visitor experience
Good management for visitors increases capacity while reducing the impact of their visit. This in turn helps
maintain the special qualities people come to enjoy within the National Park, including our local communities.
There is also a need to ensure that the way we manage for visitors is linked in with our work on nature,
especially around disturbance issues and to ensure we meet our climate targets.
There is also a need to ensure that our visitor infrastructure is of high quality and helps us to give every visitor
a great experience of the UK’s largest national park.
OBJECTIVE
Welcome visitors and provide a high-quality experience while
managing their impacts through providing better infrastructure
and high-quality ranger services.
