The impact of attractions on the local community and the environment can be both positive and negative. For example, traffic congestion can be a problem for popular attractions. The success of an attraction can be affected by how well they manage to reduce the negative impacts.

One major issue for attractions is the control of visitors and traffic. You need to be aware of how the attractions can manage this. Techniques include:

  • Car parking facilities
  • Signposting
  • Links with transport providers
  • Queue control
  • Ticket control (fast track pre-booked tickets)
