Cultural tourism in Cornwall is set for a further boost thanks to a £150,000 grant awarded to Cornwall 365, based here at Krowji. Against fierce competition nationally, Cornwall 365, which brings together the tourism and cultural industries, was awarded the funds by the Arts Council England and Visit England. The grants are being made through Cultural Destinations, an initiative that was developed by the Arts Council as a result of a three year partnership with Visit England.
The aim of the programme is to enable arts and culture organisations, working in partnership with destination organisations and other tourism partners, to increase their reach, engagement and resilience.
In Cornwall the funding will be used to continue and to build upon Cornwall 365’s already successful work, developing Cornwall’s dynamic artistic and tourism sectors by supporting young people to be cultural ambassadors, alongside building a distinctive events programme, and creating a new travel app for Cornwall.
