The Cornwall'98 Venue Directory
1.1 Aims
The Venue Directory For Cornwall ‘98 seeks to address the 3 core aims of CORNWALL ‘98 - World Watersports Festival.
- To increase awareness of the excellent watersporting facilities in Cornwall, both for the enthusiast and the tourist.
- To promote tourism in the region during 1998, augmenting visitor numbers by 10%.
- To facilitate the provision of infrastructure necessary for participation in quality watersports all around the County. This infrastructure will be utilised before, during and after Cornwall ‘98 .
1.2 The Role of the Venue Directory
This Venue Directory is designed to be a useful guide to watersports facilities within the County of Cornwall.
There are already many area and tourist guides of this nature on the market, however this guide was compiled with specific reference to venues and their suitability for hosting watersporting events.
As Cornwall ‘98 has specific aims to increase tourism in 1998, a general section on tourism in Cornwall has been included, showing how events such as CORNWALL ‘98 can help to enhance visitor numbers and spend.
The Venue Directory has been designed to help event organisers to plan the best time and place to stage an event, depending on their sports’ specific requirements, possibly opening up new avenues to organisers unfamiliar with Cornwall’s facilities.
The key role of the document is therefore to provide interested parties with the planning knowledge they require, related to all watersports facilities and services throughout the County.
Subsidiary roles include applications for use by local government, sports associations, both national and local, education bodies and businesses considering a move into the Cornish tourism and watersports industry.
Finally, this document also serves to highlight areas for development and improvement of facilities, services and support.
1.3 Methodology
STAGE 1
- Compile a dossier of primary and secondary venues for inclusion in the document.
- Source secondary information on venues i.e. books, leaflets, almanacs, pilot books, tourism statistics.
- Design and set up a Venue Form and complete information already available.
STAGE 2
- Collate primary information from site visits to the locations around Cornwall.
- Develop contacts with local specialists - in sporting disciplines as well as areas where these are practiced.
- Document and report on resources and facilities in primary and secondary areas.
STAGE 3
- Compile backup data for each location, such as pollution levels, car parking facilities, extra facilities provided during the tourist season.
- Compile figures and graphic representation of tourism data and how events can affect and improve tourism.
- Update information as the need arises.
1.4 Areas For Further Study
- Draw comparisons between watersport resources.
- Recommendations for improvements in existing facilities and creating possible new facilities.
- Seek plans for new infrastructure.
