Cumbria Tourism has been lobbying hard for the Deal which would deliver a range of support for the industry, including the potential of Tourism Action Zones.
At the end of 2018 we hosted Visit Britain policy colleagues on a fact-finding mission and on 30 January we were pleased to coordinate a visit by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s new Head of Tourism Sponsorship and Strategy, discussing the opportunities and potential to work together with Government to grow the value of tourism to the county as a whole.
We are delighted to have the support of partners at Cumbria LEP, LDNPA and local authorities in this important activity and look forward to further collaborative working and high-level discussion as the Deal progresses.
