Five ways to work with neighbouring tourism businesses

A lodge owner doesn’t always know the activity operator down the road, and the restaurant doesn’t always know the wedding venue. HTA exists to change that. Here are five easy places to start.

  1. Refer guests. Keep a short list of members you trust and recommend them by name.
  2. Build simple packages. A stay plus a meal plus an activity is easy to sell and easy to book.
  3. Share suppliers. Buying together can lower costs for laundry, printing and maintenance.
  4. Cross-promote. Feature each other in newsletters and on social media.
  5. Show up. Come to HTA networking evenings and workshops and meet the people behind the businesses.

Browse the Member Network to find businesses by sector.

Members can raise questions about this at the next HTA stakeholder meeting, or contact the committee.
