Tourism investment funds
open – proposals invited
Proposals are being invited from the tourism industry for the next
round of tourism investment funds, worth over £1m for 2018/2019 to build on the £2m
already allocated to partners delivering projects during the Year of the Sea.
The Tourism Product Innovation Fund (TPIF) and Regional Tourism Engagement Fund (RTEF) will help the private and public sector work together to develop
and deliver innovative destination and product led initiatives linked to Year
of the Sea 2018, Year of the Discovery 2019 and Wales Way.
We are looking for big
idea projects which can make a real difference in making Wales a must visit
destination and give people compelling reasons to visit Wales. For the Year of
the Sea we want to challenge perceptions with new innovative 21st century
products, events and experiences that tell the fantastic stories of our various
coastal destinations. Our aim for the year is to celebrate Wales’ epic coast in
order to make Wales a stand out UK destination.
Expressions of Interest
should be made by Friday 24 November 2017 for this 2018-2019
round of funding for both Tourism Product Innovation Fund (TPIF) and Regional
Tourism Engagement Fund (RTEF) - with full spend to be completed by March
2019.
