Business representatives and councillors from Great Yarmouth visit other resorts on a work study each year, and this year they have chosen Weymouth.

The group of approximately 40 consists of local businesses, councillors, BID levy payers and staff from the BID and council.

The visit is planned for September 26, 27 and 28, with a seminar workshop on the morning of the Wednesday at Weymouth Pavilion with councillors, tourism officers and others in the tourism trade.

Visitors from Great Yarmouth will visit attractions on route and Weymouth BID with support from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council and the tourism partnership, who will be organising a tour of Weymouth and Portland on the Wednesday afternoon.

Karen young projects manager at Great Yarmouth Tourism and BID said: "Since 2000 a delegation of private sector operators from Great Yarmouth have joined public sector representatives on an annual visit to resorts across the UK and Europe.

"The mission is to learn more about how other resorts manage and promote themselves.

"Over the last 15 years discussions have sparked new ideas and new projects that have been implemented including a major regeneration project and our BID.

" This year the visit is to the resort of Weymouth in Dorset who are in the process of renewing their BID in 2018 so we will be very keen to hear about their experience in the run up to their BID ballot.

"Many lessons are shared between the resorts and have proved invaluable to both host and guests.”

Those interested in attending the seminar on Wednesday, September 27 should contact the BID office.

The BID is also keen to hear from attractions and tourism businesses who could host a visit or would like to be involved or present at the seminar.
