Visitor Economy Sector Consultation

Help Cornwall build a new, collaborative Destination Management Organisation (DMO) to champion our visitor economy.  

A DMO plays a vital role in promoting Cornwall as a welcoming, year-round destination, providing a powerful shop window for the Cornwall visitor experience, coordinating destination marketing and brand activity, sharing research and insights and representing the needs of businesses of every size - from accommodation providers and attractions, to food, drink, retail and activity operators - as well as key partners in the wider industry that support and promote the year round offering we have here in Cornwall.

Your views will help shape a strong, unified organisation that supports the whole sector and ensures Cornwall remains a leading UK destination.

This survey is anonymous - we are not asking for your business name.  

Your honest views will help us gather a realistic industry opinion. 

Please complete this survey by 11 January 2026 

Thank you very much for your time.
