Edward has joined fellow Leicestershire MP, Alberto Costa, the Leader of Blaby District Council, Cllr Terry Richardson, and representatives of the Council and local businesses for the official launch of the Blaby District Tourism Partnership in the Marriott Hotel, Enderby.
The Council has worked with local businesses and Leicestershire Promotions Ltd to build the strong partnership which will develop a Tourism Plan to help increase local tourism, further boost the already successful local economy, and to better publicise the attractions and tourism opportunities in the area more widely.
Edward said: "It is great to see Blaby District Council taking such a strong lead in promoting all that is best about our area at this event to launch the new Tourism Partnership for Blaby. The partnership, and the Tourism Plan it will develop, represents a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the amazing landscape, tourist attractions, events, and heritage that make Leicestershire and Blaby so special, and such great places to visit."
