Following the inaugural meeting on Monday 23rd February 2009 we have 10 business owners from a range of tourism businesses forming this new collaborative group and their response has been extremely encouraging. To date the group has:
- agreed areas where they believe they can further cooperate and collaborate
- identified opportunities to attract and improve the visitor experience to the area (and their business)
- undertaken a review of the busines priorities they would like to address as a group
- confidentially exchanged benchmarking information covering annual sales breakdown, GP%, utility charges, labour turnover, hourly wage rates
- Agreed to meet as a group between on 5 occasions between now and September.
