@Katie_CMC Thanks for coming to it Katie. It looks like it will be an annual event…although probably hosted by other partners in different locations across the country.

@GoodOrgCIC Thank you @GoodOrgCIC It was great to hear about all the fantastic work happening across the UK to ensure tourism considers the needs of host communities as much as it does visitors. I hope this becomes an annual conference.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the ‘Tourism: Our Voice’ conference yesterday. It was great to see so many people from across the country sharing bold and inspiring ideas on how we can make the visitor economy more inclusive and equitable.

Tourism shapes communities, fuels economies, and defines destinations—but how can it truly serve the people who call these places home? Join us on 3 July for @GoodOrgCIC's 'Tourism: Our Voice' conference, transforming visitor economy for social good.👇 yorksj.ac.uk/news/2025/tour…
