More than 40 UK travel organisers have spent three days in the region to see for themselves what West Yorkshire has to offer visitors.
Their trip was organised by Leeds and Pennine Yorkshire Group Travel, to showcase attractions and boost the £64.5m travel market in the county.
The visit included a trip on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway to Haworth and the Bronte Parsonage.
Other attractions visited included the National Media Museum, Bradford, Salts Mill in Saltaire, Harewood House, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Holmfirth.
Amanda Bond, from Leeds & Yorkshire Group Travel, said: “It is the first time we’ve brought together so many influential figures from the industry. Our aim is for them to provide increased bookings and revenue for a range of attractions, venues and destinations across the Pennine Yorkshire region.”
Judy Vail, of London-based At Home Aboard, which creates group visits for American tourists, said: “By meeting some of the actual providers themselves it gave us first-hand experience of what our potential customers might expect.”
