VisitEngland has launched the Strategic Framework for Tourism 2010-2020 outlining the basis for future development in England’s tourism industry. Included in the framework are initial plans for promoting the 2012 Olympics, plus an overview of the entire tourism economy.
VisitEngland also plan to boost business tourism and are leading a new project focused entirely on growing business tourism in the UK. Business tourism was identified as an area of potential growth and as a result tourism experts have created a plan that will kick start it in the UK. Business tourism can help increase mid-week occupancy at accommodation providers, and also repeat visits when people return to a destination with friends and family.

Lincolnshire’s Quirky Events could be the best in the UK!
Echoing those famous words of the 1914 recruitment poster I’d like to say….LINCOLNSHIRE NEEDS YOU!The county’s been nominated for a national Enjoy England Award for Excellence 2010 and with your vote we can scoop gold!
A bit of background on how this came about: Two of Lincolnshire’s most unusual events, the Haxey Hood and the World Egg Throwing Competition have been nominated for … (drum roll please)… the new “Where Else but England” award which celebrates the quirkiest events in the UK.
The category is brand new for 2010 and celebrates English eccentricity (because that’s what we do best!). Whoever wins will be on the receiving end of some fantastic national media attention – which should result in more visitors flocking to these events or visit the host destination.
Thanks to local press coverage in the Lincolnshire Echo and also BBC Radio Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire’s two shortlisted events; the World Egg Throwing Competition and Haxey Hood won places in the national final.
The county now needs as many people as possible to vote for Lincolnshire’s quirky events to give us a chance to scoop gold in the national awards.
Vote here, it only takes 2 mins.
The winner will be announced on St Georges Day, April 2010.
