Businesses at Lincolnshire’s fully-booked visitor economy conference have heard how film tourism, nature tourism and the new coastal path could boost the county’s economy.
Hosted by Lincolnshire County Council’s economic development team, the event also demonstrated the success of the Visit Lincolnshire website in showcasing everything the county has to offer.
Speakers included Heather Greenwood from Location Lincs and BBC Springwatch’s Lucy Hodson, known affectionately as ‘Lucy Lapwing’.
County Councillor Colin Davie said: “This was a great event to bring businesses together so they can network and share ideas and challenges. It’s a flagship event for tourism and is a good example of how we support businesses and help them navigate the challenges in the sector – of which there are many right now.
“Tourism is an incredibly important part of our economy and as a council we have invested in the sector, including the Visit Lincolnshire website, and provided grants to those struggling during after the Covid pandemic.
“There was a great line up of speakers at this event and I hope everyone who attended came away inspired by the future opportunities that our visitor economy businesses can benefit from.”
