Strong tourism, transport links to the capital and a high quality of life for employees are making the south east coast an increasingly popular place to do business, with the launch of a second National Park providing an additional boost, according to regional development service Invest in Hampshire.
Invest in Hampshire has reported an increase in enquiries from national businesses looking to expand their portfolio and believe this will be improved still further with the National Park Status for the South Downs.

National Park is the newest national park in the UK and covers an area of 1,600 sq km. It joins The New Forest as a major draw for visitors. The latter attracts 13.5 million day visitors and almost one million visits including an overnight stay each year. Tourism creates in excess of 7,980 jobs in the forest and generates nearly £400 million in tourism expenditure.
Margaret Paren, chairman of the South Downs National Park Authority, said: ”’Given the unique character of the National Park, during the past year we have been developing our approach for the future in close consultation with local communities, environmental groups and landowners.”
