How can I take advantage of international tourism?

We are really excited by the launch of International Tourism Week, in collaboration with Visit Cornwall.  Although the workshops and bursary element are restricted to supporting specifically leisure and tourism businesses, we are confident that the initiative will benefit the Duchy as a whole.

Whilst a trip to the key cutters or re-soling ones shoes is not at the top of every tourist’s agenda, everyday services are accessed when international visitors come to spend their euros, dollar and yen. Our community can benefit from this simply by being themselves: welcoming and friendly, and offering excellent levels of service.

The sense of collaboration in Cornwall is a testament to the civic-minded nature of our business community. We’ve collaborated with local Tourist Information Centres and BIDs to spread the word far and wide, and anticipate high numbers at the events and are offering around 20 businesses support from grant funding.
