The newly formed South West Tourism Alliance has received an early endorsement for the industry as Crown Paints have stepped in to support their work in providing the best visitor experiences. Crown Paints, through its Crown Decorator Centre network is offering trade rates to the all businesses in the tourism sector in the South West England.
Any tourism business which is part of the Alliance through its own membership organisation can purchase Crown premium quality Trade and Specialist paints and accessories, including market leading brands like Sandtex Trade, Macphersons and Sadolin all at trade rates.
Crown Decorator Centre services include 'Magic Eye' colour matching service, professional advice and support, hundreds of wallpaper books and a speedy delivery service. These tourism businesses will also be able to take advantage of special promotions that run throughout the year.
Through this offer, Crown Decorator Centres will provide some additional resource for South West Tourism Alliance which now has the challenge of supporting the industry without the benefit of public funding. If successful, the South West Tourism Alliance and Crown Paints hope to extend this partnership to other tourism regions across England.
David Fisher of Crown Paints said: "We know that tourism businesses form a large proportion of our customers here in the South West and, in these difficult times, we are delighted to be able to work to support these businesses. They represent the face of the industry and we want to enable them to provide the best possible welcome to our visitors."
Jamie Christon, spokesperson for the South West Tourism Alliance: "All of our businesses know that maintaining the quality of our infrastructure is critical for long term success so this is in many ways the perfect partnership. Any additional resource received from Crown Paints through this initiative will be directed at key services for the industry such as sustainability, research and training."
