How does Eden Project affect the economy?


How does Eden Project affect the economy? Eden employs circa 350 people and gives another 150 people the opportunity to volunteer. Since opening to the public in 2001, the place has attracted more than 18 million visitors and inspired an economic renaissance in Cornwall by contributing more than £1.7 billion to the local economy.


What is the environmental impact of the Eden Project?

Furthermore, the Eden Project uses a multitude of strategies designed to reduce waste; for example, the buildings are powered by wind harnessed energy along with a system for rainwater collection. Both tactics minimize the consumption of natural resources.


Is the Eden Project losing money?

The prolonged closure and continuing restrictions on visitor numbers resulted in Eden Project Ltd losing more than £7 million in revenue. This means that some of the 35 people who came back to Eden following the 2020 redundancies again face losing their jobs for not too dissimilar reasons less than three years on.
