Design Quality and Accessibility Standards for Tourism Development

Good design is important for tourism development projects because the ability to attract tourists will often be influenced by the visual quality of the development and its success in reflecting local character and distinctiveness. Accessibility and ease of use are also important design considerations. Developments that are easy to reach, particularly for pedestrians, cyclists, users of public transport and people with mobility impairments, are likely to be successful in attracting visitors in the first instance and encouraging them to return.
