Experience Oxfordshire has announced that The Bodleian Libraries, a group of spectacular venues which includes the historic Bodleian Library and the Divinity School, has become an Experience Oxfordshire Ambassador partner, demonstrating their support for the county’s broader visitor economy.
Experience Oxfordshire works with businesses and local influencers across the public and private sector to grow the value and productivity of the visitor economy for the benefit of all who live, work, visit and do business within Oxfordshire. By supporting the organisation, Experience Oxfordshire Ambassador Partners are investing in Oxfordshire’s future as a thriving visitor destination.
A long-standing Experience Oxfordshire partner, the Bodleian Libraries has recently participated in the organisation’s international travel trade missions to New York, Toronto and Japan, which are designed to raise the institution’s profile amongst influential travel planners.
Hayley Beer-Gamage, CEO of Experience Oxfordshire commented, “The Bodleian Libraries are an example of Oxfordshire at its best, able to deliver a unique experience with the highest level of quality and care. From a leisure visitor perspective, the institution encapsulates everything they expect to find in Oxford: history, heritage, stunning architecture and welcoming people. For business travel or for conference and event organisers, the Bodleian Libraries offer the best of modern amenities and customer service delivered within a unique environment.
“Business and leisure tourism together contribute some £2.3 billion to our local economy and as the government has pledged to grow the value of inbound tourism, it’s even more important that as a sector we come together to work to ensure business and institutions within Oxford and the wider county benefit from any growth. We are delighted to welcome the Bodleian Libraries as an Ambassador Partner and look forward to a productive relationship delivering against our common objectives.”
The Experience Oxfordshire Ambassador Partnership is now in its tenth year and has grown from two founding Ambassador Partners in 2015 (Blenheim Palace and Oxford Bus Company) to a current collective of thirteen leading organisations active in the county’s visitor economy.
Experience Oxfordshire welcomes conversations with other businesses in the county who would like to be part of ensuring Oxfordshire has a thriving and sustainably productive visitor economy.
