Get Involved

How can Businesses get involved?

• Any rural tourism business in the South West can link with the activities by taking up the marketing opportunities and using the websites to add value to their own marketing and product.

• If a business is considering developments into the country sports area, we can provide advice on setting up a shoot, angling, or any other countryside activity such as guiding services, deer stalking, equine/hunting, wildfowling and photographic opportunities etc.

• A tourism expert can advise on their business development ensuring their product matches the expectations of the country sports visitor.

• We hold a database of suppliers, processors and food services that incorporate game and fish into their business and offer a supplier matching service for those wishing to develop into these areas.

• Other services include access to specialist training, networking, case studies of best practice and visits to demonstration sites.

• Assistance to help farms accurately assess and justify diversification into the country sports areas.

Pretty much any business within the rural sector (new or existing) across the SW region.
