National Tourism Best Value Group The National Tourism Best Value Group was set up approximately four years ago with the object of establishing a self help group for local authority tourism officers preparing for their Best Value Review process. The group now represents some 180+ subscribers, about half of all tourism officers in England and Wales.

There are two prime benefits of membership:

• Subscribers attend the regular meetings of their chosen category group. These meetings are much valued by subscribers as a source of new ideas, best practice, increased knowledge, networking and support. • Data collection, analysis and reports enable subscribers to compare their own performance year on year and benchmark against comparable destinations. This data is in line with the Audit Commission performance indicator requirement and forms the necessary for an effective Best Value assessment.

The group is supported by a management team including representatives from the RTBs, the Local Government Association, the Tourism Society, the Institute of Leisure and Amenity Management, the British Resorts Association and is managed under contract by the Southern Tourist Board. It is also recognised by the Audit Commission as being a valuable support system for those going through Best Value. For more details contact Judith Barratt at [email protected] or telephone 01256 811660. Annual subscription £225.00.
