Become a North York Moors National Park Champion

This is a sneak peak at something we're just getting started with. I initially called it 'Ambassadors' but decided 'Champions' is less stuffy and more celebratory. You don't need to be super-human to participate! I can't give you all the details yet, but here's an outline which I hope will convince some of you to get involved and be the initial pioneer champions - or guinea pigs...

We'd like to work more closely with some people/businesses who really love their area and want to collaborate to raise the profile and encourage visitors to value it too. We need a variety of different types of businesses in different locations, long established and new. 

We're looking for businesses that share our values, and are ready to do more to showcase their local area, encourage the 'right' kind of visitor behaviour. It would be wonderful if you're already on the first steps to sustainability, or cater for a particular type or visitor or guest. We're open though so don't want to be too prescriptive at this stage. 

You can apply to be a Champion right now. Not everyone will be suitable but we hope many of you will join in. Rewards include opportunities for more prominent marketing and a higher profile, chances to collaborate or act as examples of best practice, opportunities to get more direct marketing advice and to be part of a positive group of collaborative businesses. 

If you think this sounds interesting and would like to know more, please sign up at https://form.jotform.com/Susan_Briggs/champions

We can't guarantee inclusion but would like to hear from as many of you as possible.
