In addition to the stakeholder sessions the North and West Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce undertaking a product audit of North Yorkshire’s visitor economy to better understand the views of industry, asking questions around the quality, quantity and distinctiveness of various aspects of the destination.
A spokesman said: “This survey will ask about accommodation, attractions and experiences, food and drink, festivals and events, heritage and culture, landscape and countryside, towns and villages, access and transportation and visitor services. We also want to gauge your views on what is prospering or holding back the development of the destination and understand some of the key priorities you feel should be taken forward.” Complete the survey at https://cvent.me/YB2V7D.
