In this episode, Lisa Bone, Strategic Tourism Manager at Visit Essex, shares how they're redefining Essex’s identity. From vibrant cities and cultural hotspots to unspoilt coastlines and rolling countryside, Lisa and her team are on a mission to inspire civic pride and showcase Essex as a must-visit destination.
She also pulls back the curtain on the world of destination management — because tourism isn’t just about getting people through the door. It’s about shaping the infrastructure, managing the experience, and positioning Essex as a place people want to explore.
