Abstract

This important book – based on new and original research – examines the economic impact, measured in employment terms, of the North of England Open Air Museum at Beamish. The authors provide a detailed assessment of the direct, indirect and induced employment generated by the museum. The assessment of the museum’s employment impact is placed firmly within the context of its historical development and of the region’s tourism activity.
