We were dismayed to learn that Lincolnshire County Council has decided to cut its funding to Visit Lincolnshire. This seems such an ill thought out response to the need to cut budgets. Tourism generates a lot of income for Lincolnshire, and it is government policy to promote and develop the tourism economy, so it is surely shortsighted to cut the funding to Visit Lincolnshire who do such a good job of marketing Lincolnshire as a tourism destination.
At Chaplin House B & B, we have benefitted hugely from our membership of Visit Lincolnshire: attending the conferences and training sessions, and the support from the staff, have all helped us to build our business up from nothing in 2004 to a thriving, award winning B & B in 2010.
- What do other tourism businesses think of the cuts?
- And how can we best support Visit Lincolnshire in their fight for survival?
