Visitor Economy Accessibility & Inclusivity Forum Expression of Interest Survey

Visit Peak District & Derbyshire is establishing a small Visitor Economy Accessibility & Inclusivity Forum bringing together businesses from across the visitor economy who are interested in making the destination more accessible, inclusive and welcoming.

The Forum will bring together businesses at different stages of their journey – from those just starting out to those with significant experience – to share ideas, learn from one another and develop practical opportunities that benefit visitors and businesses.

Places will be limited, and we are looking to create a balanced group representing different sectors, locations, business sizes and levels of experience.
