Horsham District five towns Passport Scheme

A scheme to encourage visitors to five towns in West Sussex. A joint collaboration between the towns and a local bus company. Day visitors are the lifeblood of small market towns. There are five distinct Community Partnerships in the Horsham District who are naturally keen to promote their own towns and to attract visitors. However, they also recognise the value of working together to benefit the wider area. As part of the healthchecks in each town, the local community, business associations and business in the community looked at economic sustainability and it was clear that the visitor economy needed a boost.
