David Edwards
Renowned tourism research expert David Edwards joins the Board in 2020.
After roles at London Transport, the Office for National Statistics and Department for Transport, David moved into tourism in 2003 as Head of Research and Evaluation at Visit Britain. Here he transformed the research function into an industry-facing activity - helping audiences understand not just what was happening in the market, but also why, supported by new outputs such as the monthly Foresight, and the overseas Market Profiles.
From 2015 to 2019 David worked with Visit Jersey to transform its research capabilities and now runs his consultancy, Scattered Clouds, and is a regular speaker at national conferences.
David is pleased to bring his expertise to Tourism for All at a time when understanding trends and attitudes is crucial to encouraging businesses to become more accessible.
