A Professional Approach to Partnership

Experience Oxfordshire works with a growing Partner network of some 200 businesses spanning a variety of sectors linked to the visitor economy: attractions, accommodation providers, public and private transport, retail, restaurants, language schools, tour companies, executive transport service and many unmissable events and experiences. It delivers a Partnership Programme aimed at supporting, developing, and promoting all types and size of business and through effective collaboration together works to ensure that Oxfordshire enhances its reputation as a leading destination for tourism, culture and business.

Partners see a range of exclusive benefits and business development support, from marketing opportunities, a website presence and inclusion in our social media through to networking events, research & insights and ‘Perks for Partners’, our discounts programme available to Partners and their teams. The team provide a unique communications channel providing Partners with news and information impacting directly on their operations. In response to current staff recruitment issues within the hospitality and leisure sectors, a free facility for advertising vacancies has been introduced with 130 positions being advertised over the last year.

The joint ambition is to make tourism work for everyone and to drive growth across the visitor economy by increasing the value of the visitor expenditure year on year. Experience Oxfordshire is working with its Partners to deliver a joint vision of pride of place across the city and county that engages with both residents and visitors to improve their experience and welcome.
