Welcome

Marketing Cheshire presents a major new conference: Travel, Leisure and Tourism North 2012. This full-day conference will take place on Thursday 24 May at Chester Racecourse and will explore key issues, trends and opportunities for the visitor economy of the North of England.

The conference will be split into two distinct but related half day sessions; speakers in the morning session will deliver research and economic data based around the value and size of the visitor economy in the North. Speakers will look at topics such as private sector investment, areas of growth and decline and factors affecting the economy such as the built environment and the Government; funding and regulations affecting building and expansion.

In the afternoon, the focus will shift towards marketing and other intangibles related to the marketing, development and delivery of visitor attractions: from the changing face of public interest in leisure attractions to the changing nature of marketing to these disparate audiences and how the use of technology can help enhance output and sales.

This event is for senior industry professionals, owners and operators of hotels, restaurants, venues and attractions and public sector bodies across the region.

Early bird tickets for the conference are £79 + VAT. After 7 May, the cost will be £99 + VAT for Marketing Cheshire members and £119 + VAT for non-members.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Chester Racecourse for this exciting new conference.
