The tourism unit in Trafford works in partnership with other council services, local tourism businesses, and agencies including Marketing Manchester – the Greater Manchester Tourist Board, and the Regional Development agency to develop the tourism product in the Borough. Increasingly we are working to develop product which is easily recognisable by the consumer and is not constrained by local authority boundaries.

A Local Tourism Association has been set up and anyone involved in tourism is welcome to become involved. As a fledgling initiative there is no charge to join, and you can help shape the future of tourism in Trafford.

The Local Tourism Association is represented on the Local Strategic Partnership through its participation in the Trafford Economic Alliance.

The tourism unit produces a newsletter on an ad-hoc basis which is (e)mailed to a mailing list of around 400 tourism related businesses. The newsletter keeps businesses up to date with tourism related opportunities and news. It's your newsletter and the unit welcomes contributions from Trafford businesses.
