Before we can answer this question we must find out who can deliver marketing activities to better increase tourists and day visitors into the town.
Proposed Tourist Attractions
1. County Hall should be utilised as a Museum
2. Old Post Office is an ideal place for an Art Gallery
3. Ancient House should be utilised as a Museum
4. A tourist attraction needs to exist at the Ipswich Waterfront
Increasing the selection makes it impossible for the visitor to complete all the museums on a single day, so visitors would need to stay overnight/revisit.
"The Link" route from Tower Street to Waterfront should be revisited as an tourist/heritage trail.
Pigs Gone Wild art trail and children-focused events such as Paw Patrol attracted large numbers of people into the town. The latter category are easily organised and
Ipswich should utilise more of these events, i.e. once per week in the summer.
