Visit Northumberland Showcases Ambitious Plans for English Tourism Week 2025
This week, we visited Northumberland Tourism Fair to show we're proudly supporting #EnglishTourismWeek25 which sees the industry come together to highlight tourism’s importance to local communities and economies.
Tourism is a cornerstone of Northumberland’s economy and continues to thrive as a result of investment, innovation and your commitment to providing authentic, quality products and #EndlessExperiences.
Visit Northumberland champions the sector on your behalf because tourism is:
*A Major Economic Contributor – the Northumberland visitor economy generates revenues of £1.262 billion contributing significantly to regional economic growth.
*Vital for Employment – tourism is Northumberland’s second-largest employment sector, supporting 14,655 jobs across various industries, including hospitality, food, and attractions in all communities across the county.
*A Pillar for Sustainable Growth – Visit Northumberland's priority is to support a regenerative approach to the Northumberland visitor economy by fostering economic, social and environment benefits for residents and their communities that serve visitors to our destination.
We continue to elevate the county's profile through domestic and international marketing campaigns and developing products and experiences to attract longer staying visitors to do and see more when they are here.
We urge you to continue to offer the warmest of welcomes and support #EnglishTourismWeek25, and don't forget to use the handle and share what you're doing with us and across your own social media channels.
