Working in the Visitor Economy

Lincoln was once declared one of the UK’s happiest places to live and work - and one of the top 20 places to visit in the world - which is why the 28,200 people employed within the visitor economy are so important to the region. There are nearly 31 million visits made to Greater Lincolnshire each year and those visitors spend over £500 million on food and drink and £650 million in our shops.

As a tourist destination, Lincolnshire offers so much. The area is full of unique and distinctive features that appeal to a whole range of ages and interests.

From the buzzing holiday resorts along the coast, to the award-winning attractions in the city, there are an abundance of places to work, visit and enjoy:

  • Heritage attractions
  • Coastal resorts
  • More than 120 sites of Scientific Interest
  • Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Historic houses
  • 600 ancient monuments

As inbound investment is set to bring even more opportunities to the area, Lincolnshire is about to enter an exciting new chapter – and there’s never been a better time to work in the visitor economy.
