Sustainable Travel

According to who pays for the lake district report by Dr. Davina Stanford, ‘’We are asking people and organisations to recognise that as well as benefitting the lake district’s businesses, tourism also has significant negative impacts on the environment and communities of lake district national park. These invisible burdens, the unpaid costs to society and the environment of high visitor numbers must be addressed to maintain and sustain the lake district culture, community landscape and environment, which are the very reasons that people visit the national park.
