Why Cornwall?

Cornwall has firmly established itself on the global stage as a leading visitor destination. It’s a place where the cutting-edge development and technology are being used to amplify traditional tourism and take it to the next level. And it’s so successful that tourism now generates an estimated £4bn of business turnover each year and supports more than 55,000 jobs.  

Cornwall also boasts several of the largest UK festivals, including Boardmasters Festival, The Masked Ball and Eden Sessions. If you’re looking to launch a career in sustainable tourism or festival management in this dynamic, evolving and ever-growing sector, then this is the place to do it.
