The Senior Economic Development Officer presented a report recommending for approval a new Chesterfield Visitor Economy Strategy for the period 2022 through 2027.

The overall aims of the new Visitor Economy Strategy were to attract more visitors to Chesterfield to support existing retail, leisure, and hospitality businesses through generating additional footfall and spend, and to create new jobs in the local economy.

An online public consultation on the draft Strategy had been held for a four-week period. This had closed on 8 December, 2021. A summary of the consultation responses was attached at Appendix 1 of the officer’s report. Alongside the online consultation, presentations on the strategy were also made to the Visitor Economy Strategy Scrutiny Project Group and at a Destination Chesterfield meeting of Chesterfield Champions.

A copy of the proposed Visitor Economy Strategy for the period 2022 through 2027 was attached at Appendix 2 of the officer’s report.
