THE CONNECTED CITY
A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FOR BRIGHTON & HOVE

Issues of Concern

Brighton has held its own as a favoured destination for tourists and conference delegates but the level of competition from destinations around the UK and the world remains fierce.

Factors inhibiting our success include access (the lack of a 7 day railway connection which is often subject to engineering works at the weekends), uncertain investment decisions about the Brighton Centre, the quality of some of the tourism offer and investment in programming and events.

The industry also remains very susceptible to international events and economic conditions.
