VHEY becomes Local Visitor Economy Partnership
We are delighted to announce that VHEY have been recognised as 1 of 12 of the first Local Visitor Economy Partnerships. This recognition follows the creation of LVEPs as part of the UK Government’s response to the recommendations of ‘The de Bois Review: an independent review of DMOs in England,’ to reshape destination management across England, reducing fragmentation and bringing coherence to its DMO landscape. This will allow VHEY to access be able to access expert advice, dedicated toolkits and training programmes, targeting their needs, from VisitBritain/VisitEngland in areas ranging from distribution, accessibility and sustainability to business support and marketing. An important strand of support will be highlighting available Government funding streams as well as developing and providing a ‘toolkit’ to help with bids to those streams.
