Are you an entrepreneur, culture vulture, or community group? Join a Spot-lit workshop in January to discover how to create new products for the untapped literary tourism market and bring even more tourists to your NPA Region.

Literary tourism is an emerging niche sector within the wider cultural tourism sector, where places with literary heritage offer author and fiction-related opportunities, along with opportunities arising from literary festivals, trails and bookshops.

Attendance at the workshops is free of charge, though registration is essential.

Spot-lit workshops are open to small businesses, social enterprises, community groups and literary associations with a unique idea for the development of literary tourism in their area.
