Destination Lincolnshire are the defined Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) for the Lincolnshire and Rutland areas. As part of this they have created a Plan to 2033 to promote and co-ordinate the Visitor Economy. This Plan will cover and impact the Boston Borough Council area.  In addition, a Destination Management Plan has been produced for the Partnership area. These two documents together form a suite to support the visitor economy in the Partnership area from the local to the sub-regional. It is therefore proposed that the LVEP Destination Management Plan should be acknowledged and agreed by the Council and the SELCP Destination Management Plan agreed by the Council.
