The official destination management organisation (DMO) for Pembrokeshire with the purpose of coordinating delivery of Pembrokeshire’s 2024-28 Destination Management Plan (DMP). Pembrokeshire is already an established visitor destination but there is room for growth and, going forward, the DMP is designed to set out a shared vision around which the destination and partners can unite. Coordinated by Visit Pembrokeshire it aims to strengthen the county’s approach to tourism, eliminate duplication of effort and provide best value for the resources available now and in the future. While it’s a business led partnership, the DMO is a collaboration between the private, public and third sectors. Together, we are stronger and can develop Pembrokeshire’s unique proposition and set it aside from its competitors.
Our vision is to be a global leader in regenerative tourism, while prioritising the challenges and opportunities we now face, and which are more wide reaching than simply developing a competitive advantage as a destination. To ensure this, we have developed some guiding principles.
Briefly, our visitor economy should:
With those guiding principles in mind, we’ve developed our strategic destination priorities.
A. REGENERATIVE
Ensure our visitor economy takes account of its current, and future economic social and environmental impacts, whilst addressing the needs of all visitors, the environment, the industry, and local communities, delivering a net benefit.
B. BRILLIANT BASICS
Deliver the foundations of destination stewardship - the underpinning level of the travel experience hierarchy and the visitor welcome.
C. SHARED NARRATIVE & BRAND
Continue to build the new Pembrokeshire brand through trade engagement to sell Pembrokeshire’s year-round offer, communicated through marketing and PR.
D. EVENTS & SEASONALITY
Building our year-round offer to build additional demand in the spring and autumn.
E. WELL-BEING & ACTIVE
Re-establish Pembrokeshire as a preferred destination for walking, adventure, and other activities and immersive learning breaks promoting our ecological, environmental and cultural worldwide significance.
