PART B - MATTERS REFERRED TO COUNCIL
101. York Tourism Strategy
Officers introduced the report and confirmed that the strategy was a partnership piece of work with city partners and asked that the Executive recommend it to Council to approve on behalf of the city. They noted that a section on the Local Visitor Economy and Partnerships should have been included, it was confirmed that York and North Yorkshire had been successful in their bid to be recognised as a LVEP partnership, LVEP work will see the Council match its tourism strategy with the emerging Combined Authority.
The Executive Member for Economy and Transport thanked partners for their work in developing the strategy.
Recommended:
i. Thanked the Tourist Advisory Board (TAB) for their work in preparing a new York Tourism Strategy and recommended the strategy to Full Council so that it can be adopted on behalf of the city.
Reason: To recognise the work undertaken by TAB and
industry partners in preparing the strategy, and to support the growth of the York economy and the Council’s priorities of affordability, environment, equalities and human rights, and health and wellbeing.
