AUTUMN TALKS: Ivor Stolliday, of Visit County Durham; Susan Briggs, of The Tourism Network; Steven Parker, of Mediaworks; Anke Monstel, of VisitEngland; Geoff Ramm, author of OMG; and Craig Wilson, of Visit County Durham.
NEARLY 100 tourism professionals gathered for an agency’s autumn conference.
The Visit County Durham summit attracted 91 delegates to Durham County Cricket Club in Chester-le-Street.
The title was ‘Marketing!’ and the speakers included Anke Monstel, from Visit England.
Ivor Stolliday, chairman of Visit County Durham, said: “As we’ve seen with Visit County Durham’s three recent national campaigns, marketing can have a huge positive impact.
“This was a fantastic opportunity for Durham-based tourism businesses of all sizes to learn how to promote themselves to a wider market and develop new revenue streams on even the smallest marketing budgets.
“We had three fantastic keynote speakers and two great seminars.”
