Historic environment and economic value

Research and Reports

The full economic value of heritage is at present incalculable.Well- maintained historic streets and town centres help to attract people to shops, restaurants and other local businesses. Trips to the countryside to visit historic landscapes and monuments or to admire churches and market towns lead to indirect benefits to the rural economy through spending in cafes, markets and shops.

Better analysis of the economic benefits of looking after the historic environment is needed and this formed the thrust of the research that accompanied the first Heritage Counts in 2003.
