Destination Coventry has brought together its six founding patrons to help it drive the visitor economy in Coventry and Warwickshire.
The six founding patron members from across the private and public sectors have signed up to support the new DMO, with organisations representative of Destination Coventry’s support throughout both Coventry and Warwickshire.
Who’s involved?
No Ordinary Hospitality Management, Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry Business Improvement District (BID), Warwickshire County Council, CV Life and Coventry City of Culture Trust make up the inaugural patrons.
The patron members have pledged to support the DMO in its efforts to raise the profile of Coventry and the wider region to national and international audiences, while also aiding Destination Coventry in focusing its support to the needs of both leisure and tourism businesses in the region through its two brands – ‘Visit Coventry’ and ‘Conference Coventry and Warwickshire’.
The DMO is a collaboration between Coventry City Council and Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce.
Paul Jones, managing director of Destination Coventry, said: “Our patrons are perfect examples of what we are working to achieve with Destination Coventry – bringing together organisations from across our region and from different corners of the visitor economy to drive the sector’s future.
“Coventry and Warwickshire is hosting a hugely exciting schedule of major national and international events this year. We will be working with the sector to help it to capitalise on this incredible opportunity, and having our six inaugural patrons on board will support us in that effort.”
