Allerdale Borough Council’s Leisure and Tourism Portfolio Holder, Councillor Tony Markley, said: “Following the success of last year’s Tourism Conference, the Tourism Breakfast Briefing aims to provide business owners with another fantastic opportunity to learn how they can benefit from the excellent initiatives being organised by Allerdale Borough Council, Copeland Borough Council, and Carlisle City Council.

“I would like to encourage businesses across Allerdale and further afield to register their attendance for the Tourism Breakfast Briefing and seize the opportunity to listen to several great presentations from a fantastic line-up of expert speakers, to network with their peers, and to better understand what local councils are doing to support them”.
