The businessman behind the firm that has bought the Yorkshire.com website says he wants to save the Tour de Yorkshire 2023, and promote the county to global visitors.
Robin Scott's eCommerce firm, Silicon Dales Ltd, has acquired the website and other assets including the rights to run the cycling event from the administrators of the failed tourism body, which collapsed following a string of damaging claims about bullying and misspending which led councils to withdraw its funding.
Now, Mr Scott says Silicon Dales will relaunch Yorkshire.com and focus on marketing Yorkshire as a holiday destination to overseas tourists.
