I'm not sure how many people who can't get there and back in a day will want to go back too often, though. Still, hopefully there are plenty who will and Eden will continue to be able to employ plenty of local people.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913127925431380024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518795276029646606.post-72947487187313225172013-02-16T09:28:53.582+00:002013-02-16T09:28:53.582+00:00Karin, I asked around at Eden re your comments, an...Karin, I asked around at Eden re your comments, and this is what I've been told (not sure if it will change your mind, but maybe as it is such a great place of local employment and general interest): "we are constantly thinking of new ideas to bring repeat visitors back - building a reputation as a great place for events and exhibitions and changing performances so that every time you visit you have a very different experience. In the summer months, we have a great captive audience because so many people come to Cornwall every year for their annual holiday - and they turn to us when it rains and they can't go on the beach or the coastal path." <br />From Nicola<br />around Britain no planehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832626578044856859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518795276029646606.post-32978844493955694152013-02-11T14:02:52.196+00:002013-02-11T14:02:52.196+00:00We visited in Spring 2007 and I'm glad I'v...We visited in Spring 2007 and I'm glad I've been, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to see it again.<br /><br />The problem with the Eden Project is partly it's novelty value: once you've seen it, that's it.<br /><br />If you live locally it would be a pleasant place to wander, but once all those who live further away have seen it, why would they want to travel that distance to see it again?<br /><br />Perhaps they need to have major displays, which change every year so there's something new worth seeing?Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913127925431380024noreply@blogger.com
