Tourism has been the largest industry in
Weymouth for decades, though the number of people employed in the sector has
declined slightly since its peak in the late 1990s. Weymouth's coast and
beaches, lakes, museums, aquarium, and two shopping centres are the main
attractions for visitors. The visitor accommodation consists of hotels on the
seafront, guest houses around the town centre, and caravan and camping sites
just out of town, including three sites owned by Haven and British Holidays:
Littlesea, Seaview and Weymouth Bay.
