8.51 Plans and strategies covering the Peak Sub-area<br />
are required to help manage tourism in the area so<br />
that the economic health of the community is<br />
promoted without causing damage to the<br />
environment.The National Park Authority works to<br />
ensure that the organisations involved in the<br />
production of the plans and strategies are made<br />
aware of the special needs of the National Park.The<br />
publication of the new National Park Management<br />
Plan for the Peak District in 2007 will place further<br />
emphasis on the need for partners to work together<br />
to ensure conservation of the area for future<br />
generations.<br />
8.52 In addition to plans, partnerships have been set<br />
up in order to promote and manage tourism in the<br />
area, for example Visit Peak District and the Peak<br />
District and Derbyshire Destination Management<br />
Partnership.They work to increase the revenue<br />
produced by tourism for the local economy and<br />
improve the experience of the visitor.The National<br />
Park Authority, as a member of both these groups,<br />
provides the voice for the conservation of the Park.<br />
8.53 There are also various award schemes set up for<br />
businesses in and around the Park, for example New<br />

Plans should support the continued regeneration<br />
of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, and maintain<br />
and strengthen their economic, commercial and<br />
