Resources
hub

The EXPERIENCE Project has now ended but its impact will carry on through this Resources Hub, where you can discover the most important findings, insights, and outcomes from the partners in the six project regions. These resources are designed to assist you in developing sustainable, experiential tourism within your organisation or region.

Your input is invaluable in shaping the continued legacy of the EXPERIENCE Project and so we welcome any feedback on these resources or to hear about how you used them in your area/organisation. You can contact us at experience@norfolk.gov.uk

Explore our resources hub and learn how to capitalise on the experiential tourism trend to attract additional customers all year round in a sustainable way for your business. You’ll find plenty of resources to support you to extend your activity during the off-season and make your business more sustainable. 

We have detailed manuals with inspirational real life case studies as well as simple top tips to support you to create and promote your “experience” right now!! We also offer practical toolkits that drill down into specific subjects (for example: ‘How to develop a countryside experience’ or ‘Reaching your target market and distributing your product’) and great videos (‘What is experiential tourism?’; ‘What are the key markets to target?’; ‘How can you increase demand?’ and ‘How to improve customer satisfaction’).
