Feasibility Study for a New Brewery Visitor Centre The aim was to determine the potential for establishing a
visitor centre that was both sustainable and could enhance the reputation of
the Company, a major brewery with pubs and hotels, on the site of a new brewery
in a semi rural location but adjacent to an economic development area.
The review of the ability of the local and sub regional
tourist and business markets to deliver an audience for a tourism related
activity at the site demonstrated an opportunity might exist. Business history
shows that there is merit in ‘sticking to the knitting’ and not move away from
core competencies and culture. The recommendation was that the client should
therefore focus on developing the concept of a hotel development following the
relocation. This potentially could be allied with a visitor centre development
with a significant ‘wow’ factor plus a small conference and/or meeting facility.
