Clare Morrow, chair of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "Today was a really important day, to be able to tell everyone that Yorkshire has a great future and that Welcome to Yorkshire will continue to lead from the front in shaping that future. We all need to pull together, get behind Welcome to Yorkshire and we can continue to do great things as a county."
