South Yorkshire Local Visitor Economy Partnership
South Yorkshire destinations working in partnership
The South Yorkshire Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP), is a collaboration between the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Sheffield City Council, Doncaster City Council, Rotherham MBC and Barnsley MBC, to work together on shared priorities and targets to grow the local visitor economy.
Developed and administered by Visit England, the LVEP programme is one of the key recommendations in the Government's response to the independent de Bois Review of Destination Management Organisations in England.
The South Yorkshire LVEP programme, led by Sheffield City Council, will create a national portfolio of strategic and high-performing partnerships working in collaboration locally, regionally and nationally on shared priorities and targets to support and grow the visitor economy.
