Eden Tourism Network

The Eden Tourism Network brings together a variety of Eden tourism businesses and organisations who meet on a quarterly basis at venues throughout the local area.

The network is made up of over 100 representatives from tourism businesses in Eden and provides an opportunity to share information and discuss the latest tourism developments and issues at both a local and national level. Meetings are chaired by the commercial sector and include visiting speakers on topical issues and practical business presentations, enabling members to be informed and take away practical ideas for their own business.

Members of the Network inform and advise the work of the Visit Eden Team at Westmorland and Furness Council and stage an annual Tourism Summit.

The Eden Tourism Network acts as a collective voice for the Eden Tourism industry.
