Chair of ROC International, Richard Pawley, has been invited to sit on the Tourism Heritage Export Group by the DCMS.
The group was set up to increase the level of export of British goods and services in the tourism and heritage sectors by co-ordinating the activities of the industry, government bodies and other agencies.
“Tourism is primarily concerned with attracting people to this country, but it is also big business in terms of the services we can export,” said Pawley.
“There is a great demand overseas for our expertise and I am sure the work of this committee can maximise the opportunities that exists in other countries.”
