Following the loss of Visit Cornwall, Cornwall Council and visitor economy sector representatives have been working together, under the auspices of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Economic Forum, to explore options for a new Destination Management Organisation (DMO) to champion the visitor economy of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

DMOs play a vital role in promoting Cornwall as a welcoming, year-round destination. They also share research and represent the needs of businesses, employers, membership organisations and community stakeholders from across the sector.

As part of this joint effort, a small working group was appointed to produce a survey to ask businesses and organisations within the visitor economy for their views on the desired functions and structure of a new DMO.

This Visitor Economy Sector Consultation that was held from 28 November 2025 to 11 January 2026. The window for feedback was timed so as to enable the results from the survey to be presented to industry leaders and sector representatives during the Visitor Economy Summit at the Eden Project on 27 January 2026 to help inform the next steps in establishing a new organisation.
