North Ayrshire Council insist that they can boost the area's tourism industry, despite a dramatic decline in the sector last year.
The local authority are compiling a report entitled 'The North Coast Tourism Assessment Study', which they believe could generate "growth opportunities that will help guide future decision-making and development of the area's tourism economy over the next 3-5 years".
NAC say that tourism across the region brings some £123.65 million into the local economy, with 1,125,300 tourists visiting the area, while tourism in the North Coast area, including Cumbrae, brings in £23.61 million and attracts some 237,860 tourists.

Report commentMaybe if the glorious North Ayrshire Council reduced the extortionate rates that hotels and bars had to pay, then prices could be kept at a reasonable rate, and people would spend a bit more. How many hotels did Largs have 15 years ago, and how many are there now??

Report comment£21 for a £7 bottle of (Tesco) Sauvignon Blanc in certain establishments. I'm all for a fair mark up but some folk just go overboard. Get that sort of thing regulated and we're on a good start.
