Wind Turbines don’t effect Rural Tourism
Impact of Wind Turbines on Tourism in Scotland, which included what appears to be a well-conducted survey that showed visitors to be less enthusiastic about turbines than was perhaps expected. Four out of five of the visitors interviewed said they came to Scotland for the beautiful scenery and almost all said they valued the chance to see unspoiled nature; More than half agreed that wind-power sites spoiled the look of the countryside, saying that one of their main attractions is the fact that they are few and far between; Over a quarter said they would avoid parts of the countryside with wind developments.
