Form­al Board Paper 4 Annex 2 12/03/2021

Annex 2 — Cairngorms Tour­ism Action Plan: Pro­posed Changes

The Cairngorms Tour­ism Action Plan was approved in 2017. With the sig­ni­fic­ant changes to the con­text for tour­ism, caused by the Cov­id-19 emer­gency it is pro­posed that the Plan is revised as set out below. This should be read along­side the Cairngorms Green Recov­ery Plan (approved by CNPA Board in June 2020) and the oth­er rel­ev­ant Actions in the Cairngorms Nation­al Park Part­ner­ship Plan 2017 – 2022.

Key improve­ments and con­sid­er­a­tions in this Markdown:

  • Head­ers: I’ve used # and ## to cre­ate mean­ing­ful head­ers for the doc­u­ment and sections.
  • Table Struc­ture: I recre­ated the table struc­ture using Markdown’s table syn­tax (|, -, and :).
  • Emphas­is: Used ** for bold­ing where the doc­u­ment indicated.
  • Lists: Con­ver­ted bul­let points into Mark­down lists using *.
  • Read­ab­il­ity: Tried to main­tain read­ab­il­ity by keep­ing lines with­in a reas­on­able length.
  • Hori­zont­al Rule: Added a hori­zont­al rule for visu­al separation.

This Mark­down ver­sion should be much easi­er to read, edit, and share than the ori­gin­al image. You can copy and paste this into a Mark­down edit­or or view­er to see the format­ted output.
