Market Town Welcome has been developed by One NorthEast,
Northumberland Strategic Partnership, Northumberland Tourism
and County Durham Tourism Partnership (on behalf of Tourism
Network North East) with support from Miller Research.
The Market Town Welcome Programme in Northumberland will
help key towns achieve their full potential as tourist
destinations and prioritise investment in improvements to the
towns attractions and facilities.
Towns included in the first stage of the project are:
-
Alnwick
- Amble
- Berwick-upon-Tweed
- Haltwhistle
- Seahouses
- Wooler
It is expected that the second phase will include Hexham and
Morpeth.
Each town has the potential to attract more visitors
spending more money throughout the year, supporting more
businesses and jobs.
Each town has produced a destination plan which identifies
investment opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs, and the
public sector. Potential projects have been identified
within the plans and catagorised into the following main
themes:
-
Physical Regeneration
-
Heritage and Activities
-
Business Support
-
Business Opportunities
-
Marketing and Events
-
Food and Drink
NSP is now working with the Market Town Partnerships and
Northumberland Tourism to try and secure investment to
implement the actions identified within the plans.
The plans for each town can be downloaded below:
