20 MAY – A CRITICAL DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
This year’s TMI Hot Topic is the genuine hottest topic of the year!
It is the first national opportunity for those involved in destination management to hear about the plans emerging from the new England Tourism strategy, and importantly to input into those plans and develop action plans for your own destination.
Run in association with VisitEngland, and supported by title sponsors Carrier Group, the event will cover:
- The Strategy itself, and headline actions in Visitor Information, Destination Planning, Rural, Resorts and Marketing
- Perspectives on implementation at local, regional and national level
- Action plans that work in the current financial climate
- An update on the post election political situation, and what it means for tourism
Now is a critical time in destination management, with changing priorities, tight budgets and new structures. This event is central to all of these.
Given likely demand, we have chosen to hold the event in Derby, one of England’s most central and accessible venues, on 20 May 2010. Pricing will be attractive, with tiered rates that guarantee the lowest cost to TMI members, so please also make sure your membership is up to date.
Further details and booking instructions will be circulated within the next two weeks. In the meantime, please keep this date clear in your diary and share the date with colleagues. We anticipate this will be the biggest Hot Topic to date!
