Andy Lennox has been re-elected to the Destination Management Board (DMB), overseeing tourism in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole as BCP Council steps back from direct tourism funding and promotion in 2024/25. The DMB is creating an industry-led marketing model, launching Bournemouth and Poole Tourism and managing digital platforms. Despite funding challenges, Lennox notes a positive momentum driven by local businesses. Achievements include maintaining Blue Flag beach status and aligning with Dorset LVEP for cohesive tourism strategies. Collaboration is emphasized as essential for future growth, including the upcoming Destination Tourism Awards and a five-year strategy for the area’s economy.
