Respondent: Southend-on-Sea Borough Council - Parks and Open Spaces
Accommodation should not just be hotel focused and should offer a range of different opportunities to meet the wants, needs and budgets of different visitors. Southend lacks facilities for camping, glamping and touring caravans. This lack of facilities alienates a significant proportion of potential visitors and is a barrier to Southend being a leading coastal tourism destination. The town also lacks hostel style accommodation used by backpackers and often younger travellers. This is also a limitation to the aspiration.
