BUSINESSES are being invited to online tourism forums this November.

The North East Wales tourism partnership has joined together to bring guests two exciting, online sessions.

With a strong line-up of guest speakers, they promise to be key events for everyone involved in the tourism sector. Both sessions are free and open to everyone.

The first session, ‘Growing tourism for the good of the destination’, takes place on Tuesday, November 2, 10.30am–12noon.

Visit Wales will be presenting on their tourism strategy and ambition to grow tourism for the good of Wales by generating economic, environmental, cultural and health benefits that enrich the lives of visitors and local communities.

Ian Lebbon, chair of Denbighshire Destination Management Partnership, said: “The forums are a great way to hear from local businesses and find out about the latest tourism developments. It’s not only for tourism businesses, it’s a good opportunity for students and anyone with an interest in tourism to hear from industry experts.”
