County Durham’s annual tourism conference had a theme of ‘Made in Durham’, and brought together 100 food and drink producers, artists, crafters and tourism businesses.
The conference explored how collaborations between local producers and tourism businesses can be mutually beneficial.
The speakers talked about how to use attractions as platforms for the distribution of local produce.
Michelle Gorman, Managing Director of Visit County Durham, says: “It was great to see such a fantastic turn-out, which is an indication of the commitment of Durham’s businesses to explore how using locally-sourced produce and products strengthens our appeal and creates a unique Durham experience for our visitors.”
