Destination Manager

A Destination Manager is responsible for promoting and developing a particular location as an attractive place for tourists, conferences, and events. This role involves working closely with local businesses, government bodies, and marketing agencies to create tourism strategies, plan events or festivals, and improve the visitor experience. Destination Managers collect and analyse tourism data, manage budgets, and often represent their area at trade shows or industry events. The job requires strong organisational, communication, and marketing skills, as well as a deep understanding of what makes a destination special. It can be both office-based and involve travel within the UK or abroad to promote the destination.
