Opening more doors to more businesses – North East Pilot for the Visitor Economy

North East England is piloting a new £2.25 million scheme to bring the region together to maximise its visitor opportunities.

The aim is to create a one-stop shop to show off the best of the region, attract investment, encourage more visitors and boost the local economy.

The scheme has seen Newcastle Gateshead Initiative, Visit Northumberland, and Visit County Durham collaborate to enhance tourism. This partnership aims to bring in new hotels, enhance major attractions like Newcastle’s Quayside Market, promote local heritage and culture with UNESCO World Heritage bids, and make the most of the region’s natural assets such as beaches and national parks.
