He chats to Chris about the issues with the public transport infrastructure, why visitors are good for ALL businesses in the area, and the issues business owners are facing with wages, costs and promotion.&amp;nbsp; He discusses how Visit Great Yarmouth works with Visit East of England, and potential future central funding and the proposed Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).&amp;nbsp; Asa\u2019s career in the tourism sector is a great example of how there\u2019s room for growth, diversity and progression in the sector, and how tourism is not \u2018just a stepping stone\u2019 to a career elsewhere.
