If The Bower Didn’t Exist… Where Would 44,200 Visitors Stay?
It’s a simple question nobody asks often enough.
Over 44,000 visitor stays have been accommodated at The Bower since 1999.
If not there…
where?
Because visitors would still come.
And without enough dedicated visitor accommodation, the pressure usually shifts into:
🏘 residential rentals
🏡holiday homes
®️short-term letting
⛺informal accommodation
That’s why purpose-built tourism accommodation matters.
It helps separate:
🥾tourism demand
from
🏘️permanent housing supply.
That balance is essential for healthy coastal communities.
