Staffordshire Moorlands Tourism Partnership Forum
The forum enables key organisations involved in our visitor economy network to effectively collaborate and contribute to the strategic delivery of the wider tourism agenda across the Staffordshire Moorlands
Set up in April 2024, the aim of the forum is to align priorities, programmes, and activities; identify and take forward opportunities to enhance and build on the excellent work that each organisation is doing; avoid duplication and potentially establish new collaborations or projects which cross geographical or organisational boundaries.
The key areas of focus for this Forum include:
- Marketing and brand development
- Visitor management - including transport, dispersal, pressure points etc
- New capital or infrastructure developments
- Business support and engagement
- New funding streams, bids and opportunities for larger scale initiatives and projects
The Forum is Chaired by an Elected Member of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.
The current Chair is: Councillor Matthew Swindlehurst, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism. The current Vice Chair is: Councillor Mike Gledhill, Leader of the Council
