About the Tin Coast Network

The Tin Coast Network is building strong and meaningful links between and with, local businesses and organisations to help manage visitor behaviour, anticipate changing impacts and be as ready as we can be for the unexpected.

It is all about finding local businesses and organisations who want to work towards responsible, respectful and sustainable tourism aims, making it easy for them to identify and connect with each and providing them with the business tools and training they need.

Introducing the Tin Coast Network Business Tools

When did the Network start?

Set up in 2019 by The Tin Coast Partnership as part of its mission to find like minded local businesses and community groups looking to plan for and manage the impacts of local tourism, the Network is a simple way in which to join others in their efforts to achieve collective and positive change for the community, environment and visitor economy.

In the beginning the Network galvanised over training events, familiarisation activities and regular meetings to exchange relatable and relevant information. Covid moved the focus of the Network into crisis and recovery mode and it has taken a little time for the Network to regain momentum.
