This week I received a statement from South West Tourism which speaks of their growing alarm at the loss of visitor beds in the area. They are so concerned that they are undertaking an audit of the situation. The statement goes on to say that the reopening of such an historically important hotel as the Three Cups would drive tourism into Lyme Regis and ensure the stability of the local economy.
