Road to Recovery (Ep 9) 06/11/20

The Tune into Tourism: Road to Recovery podcast is back!   Over the next 4 weeks, we’ll be (virtually) bringing together tourism business owners and operators to talk about the challenges they have faced, and how they have managed to adapt to these ever-changing times to ensure their survival.   Each week will focus on a different sector, and this week we’re talking to accommodation providers. Regular host Julia Sutherland is joined by Craig Ewan (Operations Director, kingsmillshotel.com), Jane Slaughter (Owner, pinewoodsteading.co.uk - self catering holiday cottage) and Jamie Conner (Owner, secrethighlands.com - Doric House B&B).   They discuss how they’ve had to re-think their entire offering, get creative with outdoor spaces, make new connections with other business owners, and find ways to attract a completely different market.    By sharing the things that have helped them, acknowledging the challenges affecting different businesses in different ways, and talking about what changes will be essential for the survival of their sector, we hope to give you some ideas for your business, as well as reassurance that you’re not alone.
