Bembridge Coast Hotel will host the event and attendees will have them opportunity to hear from speakers on a range of topics from accessibility for less abled visitors, to dark sky tourism. The conference is the sixth of it’s kind and is just part of the work that Visit Isle of Wight carries out to increase the level of tourism on the Island, bringing a global picture of the industry directly to businesses that are part of the Wight BID levy.
Patricia Yates, Strategic and Communications Director of Visit Britain, will lead the conference with a speech on tourism growth and how the Isle of Wight could increase the visitor economy here. Conference sponsors Quality In Tourism will discuss their new assessment scheme and the NFU Mutual will lead a presentation on attracting and retaining staff in the tourism industry. The conference rounds off with the talk from Dr Tim Gale, a senior lecturer at Bournemouth University, who will deliver his views on the closing the performance gap between coastal tourism and the visitor economy nationally. Visit Isle of Wight’s new MD, Will Myles, will make the closing remarks.
There will be plenty of opportunity for guests to network and Visit Isle of Wight has invited a selection of businesses to bring exhibitions demonstrating the latest updates in their line of work.

Dr Sean Beer on BBC radio discussing the impact of the snow and storm Emma on food supplies in supermarkets.
This morning Dr Sean Beer was much in demand on BBC radio discussing the impact of the snow and storm Emma on food supplies in supermarkets. Sean maintained that pictures from across the UK of empty supermarket shelves were just another example of the vulnerability of our food supply chains. This was hot on the heels of ‘nugget’ shortages and problems with meat supply to other high street eateries. Sean described a food supply chain that was long, complicated and therefore at risk of disruption, with half of a supermarkets food on the shelves and half in lorries on the way to the shops.
Having said this by the end of the week consumers will have forgotten the shortages, just as they have forgotten foot and mouth and the horsemeat scandal. What is needed is a wholesale review of the food systems that underpin our lives; from economic, social and environmental perspectives, but people have short memories and do they really care? After all, as Sean Says, if he came up to you and asked to put his fingers in your mouth you would call a policeman; yet every day we put food into our mouths without a second thought as to where it has come from!
