Membership for Tourism Businesses

Our Vision and Aim:

Cotswolds Tourism is all about working in partnership across the destination to achieve joined up thinking, planning, marketing and ultimately to increase the value and profitability of tourism in the Cotswolds.

Who is Membership for?

Membership is available to any business with an interest in tourism.

However, we don’t work with ungraded accommodation. For accommodation providers we firmly recommend a valid star rating with one of the nationally recognised assessment bodies: Quality in Tourism (VisitEngland) or the AA (For more information on being inspected and the process please visit either the Quality in Tourism or the AA website).  Membership, albeit with restricted access to promotion, is also open to members of the "Cotswolds Local Assessment Scheme" which is a local assessment initiative in partnership with VisitEngland (contact your local district tourism office for details).
