Visit Herefordshire Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP)

The Visit Herefordshire LVEP aims to transform Herefordshire’s Visitor Economy through a unified vision, strategic planning, and collaborative partnerships.

The Destination Management Plan (DMP) serves as the primary tool for achieving this transformation.

As well as securing a nationally recognised official status, Visit Herefordshire LVEP will provide strong leadership and management of the Visitor Economy within the county, working collaboratively with the public and private sector.

Visit Herefordshire LVEP will help to shape and deliver national strategy and activities for the benefit of the county. The LVEP’s important role will be promoted across government and national agencies, ensuring the Visit Herefordshire LVEP is an active and valued contributor to the wider economy.

The Visit Herefordshire LVEP will be able to access expert advice, dedicated toolkits and training programmes from VisitBritain/VisitEngland in areas ranging from commercialisation, distribution, accessibility and sustainability to business support and marketing which will help businesses within Herefordshire.

The Visit Herefordshire Vision:

Is to cultivate a vibrant tourism sector in Herefordshire that offers distinctive and unforgettable visitor experiences. We aim to stay true to the essence of Herefordshire as a place, generating diverse employment opportunities, benefiting our local communities, and safeguarding our environment and heritage.
Our goal is to increase visitor numbers, particularly those who are inclined to
spend with our local retailers and service providers. A crucial aspect of this vision
is to boost the number of visitors who stay for more than one day. This Destination Management Plan (DMP) outlines the roadmap to achieving this success.
