What is being bought

Published requirement description

Norfolk County Council (NCC) sought an advisory consultant to provide travel trade business support and development advisor. The purpose is to expand the reach of the Broads National Park Experience Project both domestically and internationally by developing more experiences, providing support for local businesses and marketing the Broads National Park as a destination. Experience and up-to-date knowledge of the tourism industry (both domestic and international) will be required to work with businesses in Norfolk to develop new products for the experience collection and market them to the direct booking market and travel trade. Applications from both organisations and freelancers with a successful track record in this area of expertise were welcomed.
