Destination North East England

The North East of England was chosen to deliver the first-ever Destination Development Partnership in England, receiving £2.25 million from national government. Born out of the pilot, the partnership, Destination North East England, operates across all seven local authorities, working together to improve skills, develop products, work with travel trade, drive innovation, support business events and improve the accessibility and sustainability of the sector.

The pilot has been the catalyst for the development of a ten-year plan that will double the value of our visitor economy.
