Hypothesis one
Stratford has a larger sphere of influence than Evesham.
The results I collected from the Stratford questionnaire have a wider range of places from which come, which shows Stratford has a larger sphere of influence than Evesham, which showed a small range of places. For Stratford 11 people were local (55%) and for Evesham 14 people (70%) were local, which shows there is 15% less tourism in Evesham. More tourists and a wider range of places from which they visit again confirms that Stratford has a larger sphere of influence. The average distance travelled to, Evesham was 537.23km and 955.31km to Stratford upon Avon.
Stratford appeals more tourists because it offers more services and attractions. It is an important place for English heritage and is very famous for being the birthplace of the famous play script writer; William Shakespeare and also home to his family. The river Avon with its canal boat restaurant also appeals to tourists. The environment is also better than Stratford so tourists enjoy being there. Stratford is close the main motorways and is surrounded by smaller settlements like Redditch and Bromsgrove and is close to Birmingham international airport.
