Hinweis der Redaktion
Just look at who we work with on the supplier front alone…..it shows clearly how we all have a stake in success. Hotels have long invested in their supply chain and now its time for them to invest in the business of the hotels
We are financially and politically independent. We are networked with all principal agencies. We are single minded about driving business to our properties. We have resources that we can bring to the partnership. We have facilities, networks and working groups for Sales, HR and Finance. We represent members and partners in the whole of the North East. We have no offices and no employees. Our income is recycled back into developing hospitality and tourism. Our business model means we are financially independent.
We are where we are. Tourism support as we have known it will be a thing of the past. We are on our own. We have invested in a platform to take us through this challenging period and we ask you to join us.
