Supporting Warwickshire’s Destination Partnerships

Warwickshire County Council is investing £25,000 this year to enhance the work of Shakespeare’s England, which is the organisation responsible for marketing and developing tourism in the south of the county.

With over 100 businesses in membership, and backed by Stratford and Warwick District Councils, Shakespeare’s England is in a perfect position to coordinate and spearhead marketing the region to the rest of the world. To read about their exciting plans for the coming year please read here.

In the north of the county it is the role of Northern Warwickshire Tourism (NWT) to celebrate all that is wonderful about Northern Warwickshire and beyond, to boost visitor numbers and improve the local economy.

NWT is a voluntary organisation, but thanks to a £10,000 grant from the county council, will now be able to offer its more than 60 members the services of a dedicated Marketing and Membership Officer, Carol Evans. Working closely with NWT’s Executive Committee, Carol’s main responsibilities will be to advocate for, and raise the profile of, Northern Warwickshire as a visitor destination.

Carol commented: “I’m delighted to be able to join NWT at this exciting time. It’s a fantastic opportunity to put Northern Warwickshire on the map and capitalise on the influx of tourists coming to the region for City of Culture and Commonwealth Games events.

"Our aim is to relaunch the organisation, reaching out to new members, so that we achieve real business growth for everyone here. If you’re not already a member please contact me and find out how to get involved.”
