Tourism training courses and workshops 2009

In 2009, Explore Northamptonshire is running a programme of training courses, specifically designed to support the tourism industry in Northamptonshire. The programme includes two new business development workshops focused on a quality approach to combating the credit crunch:

 

"Trade Secrets" on Wednesday 4th February at Hellidon Lakes Hotel. During this workshop we'll share the secrets of success of leading Northamptonshire and what it means to them to go the extra mile. Topics covered include: marketing and PR to help your business stand out from the rest, getting the most out of staff and the special 'little touches' that help build repeat business.

 

"A Menu for Success" on Wednesday 4th March at Brampton Grange. This food and drink seminar will help you sharpen your product and give you ideas to keep your regulars coming through the door. Topics covered will range from making your marketing budget work harder to improving your menu, wine list, and service and food quality.

 

The programme also includes two popular Welcome to Excellence training courses, which will be held at the Rockingham Forest Hotel, Corby:

 

Wednesday 25th February - "Green Adavantage" - a workshop designed to help businesses gain a competitive edge by capitalising on awareness and interest in green issues.
