The Destination Management Organisation for Oxfordshire
Experience Oxfordshire is the official Destination Management Organisation (DMO) for Oxfordshire. We are the trading arm of the parent charity, the Experience Oxfordshire Charitable Trust, and are a not-for-profit partnership organisation that is committed to the promotion, management and development of Oxfordshire as a great destination to live, work, visit and do business.
Through effective collaboration with our local authorities and businesses spanning all parts of the visitor economy, we are working to ensure Oxfordshire becomes a leading destination for tourism, culture and business.
