The primary purpose of the locator logo is to assist local tourism businesses and communities to promote the fact that they operate within, or are allied to, the beautiful landscapes of this nationally protected area.
Five locator logos have been produced, view them here:
- Tourism Business in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
- Working in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
- Happening in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
- Made in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
- Located in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape
The scheme is part of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape's Sustainable Tourism Work which aims to work in partnership with a range of visitor related businesses and organisations to encourage sustainable tourism to the area, benefitting rural businesses and the local economy as a whole.
The Locator Logos represent the place – there is a different logo for The Forest of Bowland National Landscape organisation.
They are not a quality mark, and do not represent an endorsement, funding or any other support by the Forest of Bowland National Landscape.
