The Cumberland is proud to be a continual supporter of Cumbria Tourism, sharing their commitment to supporting businesses across the county through their strategic partnership scheme.
An introduction to the Cumbria Tourism Strategic Partnership Scheme
The Cumbria Tourism Strategic Partnership Scheme is a group of local businesses with the shared ambition of growing the value of the visitor economy and providing support to businesses throughout the county.
Having been the first business to join the scheme when it first started three years ago, The Cumberland is a long-standing supporter of Cumbria Tourism. Over the years we have worked together to support businesses across the county in various ways, including collaboration on industry research and organising events. Prior to the pandemic we delivered a successful guest speaker event at The Belsfield Hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere for new guest house owners in the region which was well received by Cumbria Tourism members.
Grant Seaton, Senior Lending Manager at The Cumberland, further explains: “We keep close contact with the team at Cumbria Tourism so we can understand what their key areas of focus are at any one time. This allows us to support them and the wider membership base in any way we can. The Cumberland also covers the cost of the first year of Cumbria Tourism membership for any of our customers who wish to join”.
