Managing Visitor Pressures

As explored in the VSG ‘New Visitor’ webinar last year, the number of visitors to the outdoors has increased enormously and as a consequence many of our sites are experiencing visitor behaviours that pose safety risks. In response to these heightened challenges, VSG hosted the first two webinars in the 2021-22 series focusing on providing members with case studies and discussion on how these challenges can be effectively managed – what is working and what is not.

Case studies from VSG member organisations across the nations looked at:

  • Let’s Stay the Night together – a Scottish motorhome saga
    Fiona Murray, Forestry and Land Scotland
  • Searching for Solutions to Over-tourism – Newborough Forest Park
    John Taylor, Natural Resources Wales
  • Camping on the fly…and its associated problems
    Graeme Stringer, Natural Resources Wales
