Tourism - Gateway to the National Park

Helensburgh is the Coastal Gateway to the National Park and must be integrated with it in terms of the supporting amenities and services it can provide.

INITIATIVES

• Identify an attractive site for an additional hotel
• Quality self-catering, guesthouse and Bed and Breakfast accommodation
• Improved pubic transport links to the National Park incorporating the Hillhouse
• Signage identifying Helensburgh as a Gateway to the National Park
• Provide full heritage and tourist information within the railway station
• Identify a suitable site for caravans and self catering lodges.

N.B. In the document, Initiatives that can be achieved fairly quickly are marked “-qw” (quickwin)

"To turn the vision into reality is a very big job, but it is well worth doing. We need to stop the neglect of Helensburgh, turn it around and put it on the road to excellence."
