HBSC Ltd were delighted to be involved in the Coastal Tourism Hub Project.
The aim of the project, supported by the Coastal Communities Fund, was to develop the capabilities and knowledge of participants to assist them in enhancing their product offering to ensure that visitors stay longer in the local area and spend more.
Over the last 12 months, 30 local tourism providers have benefitted from a range of support including business mentoring, World Host training and mystery shopping through the Coastal Tourism Hub.
The initiative from Carrickfergus Enterprise has clearly inspired and fostered collaboration amongst the stakeholders involved.
Kelli Bagchus, manager Carrickfergus Enterprise, said: “There are so many hidden gems in this area that are not always visible to the tourist.”
Describing it is an exciting time in tourism, Kelli continued “this area is now on the radar for many tourists particularly Europeans keen to explore the area”.
“We hope the visitor map and joint website can further boost this interest.”
HBSC Ltd were delighted to be involved with the project through providing mentoring in H&S as part of the business mentoring provided to The Courtyard Coffee House, Abbey Self Catering, Fool's Haven Thatched Cottage and The Bank House, Whitehead.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all the participants on the programme success for their future ventures.
