A Message from the Chief Executive

Welcome to the February edition of our newsletter.

On Tuesday 23 February we held Lincolnshire’s Annual Tourism Conference 'Success through Quality' at Woodhall Spa; the event was a huge success and I’d like to thank everyone who supported it by attending.

Information from the conference is available online, through a clever program called SlideShare. Have a look by clicking on slideshare.net/VisitLincolnshire and you’ll see my presentation, plus the workshop notes and hand outs. You can even leave us feedback and comment on the event.

Also, in the next couple of weeks we’ll be flying the county flag during the UK’s largest tourism campaign – British Tourism Week (BTW), which runs from 15 - 21 March 2010.

British Tourism Week was launched to raise awareness of the size, value and importance of Britain’s £114 billion visitor economy; we will be raising awareness of Lincolnshire’s role in contributing to the national picture.

The most significant events taking place during BTW include Discover Lincolnshire Weekend, Saturday 13 to Sunday 14 March and a Lincolnshire stand at the largest domestic trade and consumer exhibition of the year BOBI, Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 March.

Get in touch with us to find out how you can be part of BTW, and how we can work together to raise the profile of Lincolnshire as a short break destination.

Chief Executive, Visit Lincolnshire
