New data has revealed the visitor economy in Rutland is worth nearly £150 million.

That's an increase of 42% on 2021 and exceeds pre pandemic figures by 5%.

That's up from 5% on pre-covid as well.

But employment supported by tourism is down just over 10% on 2019.

Chair of Discover Rutland and owner of The Fox in North Luffenham, Jason Allen, says it's encouraging to see Rutland businesses continuing to adapt to provide an excellent quality offering to visitors and locals.
