Visitor accommodation is an inherent part of any tourism industry. Tourism can only be successful if there is enough accommodation available to cater for all different needs. Providing an increase in the range of facilities may encourage visitors throughout the year, reducing the dependence on seasonal peaks. This has economic benefits for the District.

Visitor accommodation activities need to be undertaken in a manner which ensures these effects are avoided, remedied or mitigated. Of particular concern is the effect of increased short-term populations on services.
