MPs join forces to promote Furness tourist hot spots

Two MPs have crossed the political divide to help officially launch the 1996 top visitor attractions leaflet for the Furness and Cartmel Peninsulas.

At the invitation of the Furness Tourism Partnership, Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Michael Jopling and Barrow and Furness MP John Hutton, arrivated at the celebratory event in style. Phil Cotton of The Classic Bikes Museum drove the two men through the streets of Cartmel on a 1926 Royal Enfield bike with side car.

Furness Tourism Partnership manager Claire Logan said that more than 300,000 top visitor attractions leaflets have been produced for the 1996 season. Distribution throughout Cumbria and the North West has been ongoing since March.

To date the impact of the leaflet on tourism figures has been very positive with many attractions having reported their best Easter ever.
