Our 'straw poll' on 'How far do you agree or disagree that Wells should encourage more tourism?' which was held at our November meeting produced interesting results:
Strongly Agree | 15 |
Agree | 15 |
Neither Agree nor Disagree | 2 |
Disagree |
|
Strongly Disagree |
|
A secondary question, 'Which of the following would be the most important effects of more tourism in Wells (select one or more boxes'' produced the following responses:
More good jobs | 17 |
Too much traffic | 11 |
Better shopping facilities | 12 |
Overcrowding | 5 |
More money in the local economy | 26 |
Reduced incentive to create other types of employment | 1 |
Other (please state): | 9 |
The secondary question provided more mixed responses, with some indication of concerns that tourism can have negative effects. But the strongly positive views on the initial question are perhaps surprising. Should we in fact be surprised by this?
