Capital investment
There is a need for sustained investment in the capital infrastructure of the National Park to aid the
transition to a net zero economy and to ensure that the National Park is able to manage the two million
visitors that come each year sustainably. This section sets out the high-level strategic approach to
capital investment over the next five years. A Strategic Tourism Investment Plan is currently being
developed by the Park Authority and its partners and will form a significant part of the case for
capital investment in the National Park going forward.
We have identified five guiding principles for capital investment
in the National Park:
Green
Infrastructure will contribute to delivering net zero and strengthen
the natural and social capital of the National Park.
Cairngorms
Infrastructure will focus on the needs of the National Park and will contribute to the
long-term outcomes as set out in the Partnership Plan.
Employment
Infrastructure will maximise local employment and support the
development of a wellbeing economy.
Long-term
Infrastructure investment will be focused on long-term solutions to key issues
around visitor management, transport, flood management etc.
Equalities, diversity and inclusion
Infrastructure will help to ensure that the Cairngorms is a Park for All.
