Description

The Councils (Leeds City Council, Wakefield Council, Kirklees Council, Calderdale Council and Bradford Council) and WYCA are seeking bids from organisations or individual to provide professional consultancy to develop a Destination Management Plan for West Yorkshire Region. The successful development of the plan will be reliant on engagement with public & private sector stakeholders and securing their support.

In 2019, the economic impact of the visitor economy across West Yorkshire was worth £2.43bn with 60.26m visitors entering the region. Visit Leeds, Experience Wakefield, Visit Calderdale, Visit Bradford and Kirklees Council are the current Destination Marketing Organisations for the West Yorkshire Region; core funded by their respective Councils, working with partners and stakeholders to amplify the value of the visitor economy and to present their respective areas as an attractive destination in which to visit, live, work, study and invest.
