Leading experts from across the tourism industry will gather to discuss the future of tourism at a one-day Tourism Summit organised by Visit Cornwall.
Taking place on Friday, December 2, at the Royal Cornwall Showground this flagship event, sponsored by GWR, has been as billed as an invaluable opportunity for local tourism businesses to tap into expert knowledge and gain hands-on business improvement ideas to help them thrive in 2017 and beyond.
Guest speakers will include Sally Balcombe, CEO of VisitBritain and VisitEngland; Kurt Hanson of the Tourism Alliance and well-respected destination marketer and brander; and Roger Pride from brand consultancy Heavenly. There will also be updates from Visit Cornwall and interactive seminars on marketing to UK and European audiences, making the most of film and TV and cultural tourism.
“We have designed our first-ever Tourism Summit so that it is action packed from the beginning of the day until the end,” said Malcom Bell, chief executive of Visit Cornwall. “It will give businesses access to some of the leading minds in our field and offer practical know-how so that they can grow and develop. The day is sure to get everyone buzzing and looking ahead to next year.”
As well as lots of opportunities to network and meet other local tourism businesses, there will be a panel discussion giving businesses the chance to present questions to Mr Bell and the guest speakers.
