A free digital marketing toolkit shows you how to navigate the social media and online world to help market your business effectively and there is also special advice on what Brexit might mean for the tourism industry.

If you need to attract overseas visitors, the hub has a toolkit for understanding how international visitors think, tips on building relationships, cultural considerations and how to work with some of the big players in the industry.

There is also expert advice on employing and managing staff, getting access to training and entering awards and winning official star ratings.

Visit England is the national tourism agency – a non-departmental public body funded by the Department for Digital,Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). It works to raise Britain’s profile worldwide, increasing the volume and value of tourism exports and developing England and Britain’s visitor economy.

Tourism is currently worth £127 billion to Britain’s economy with inbound tourism’s economic contribution currently valued at £26.2 billion.
