New system for tourism boards will make scheduling trips easier

Thursday, July 21, 2022

New official approval system for tourism boards will make it easier for all visitors and holidaymakers to schedule trips to must-see tourist attractions across England.

• Government to give away £4 million to sustain regions to attract more visitors and investment to tourist places across the country, along with those out-of-the-way.
• Tourism boards have productively assisted to deliver the Eden Project, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and add hundreds of millions of pounds to the financial system each year.

Tourism boards would go through a fundamental reformation to make it easier for visitors and sightseers to find out a wide range of English attractions, said Nigel Huddleston, the UK Tourism Minister.

The UK government is willing for a simpler arrangement where tourism boards, known as Destination Management Organizations (DMOs), would be a one-stop shop for visitors to discover all that they require to know about any neighborhood area and will recognize the best tourist boards as the place to opt for that information.

DMOs like Visit Cornwall, Cumbria Tourism and Marketing Manchester have the influence to steer investment for new attractions, attract visitors from all over the world and improve the local market. Tourists often used DMOs to chart their trips, book somewhere to stay and discover local attractions.

However, there are 46 DMOs in the South-East alone, which makes it puzzling for tourists to plan trips and businesses wishing investment.
