An exciting new tourism service which promotes Tees Valley as a world-class destination has been launched today, by the Combined Authority with a wide range of partners, to coincide with English Tourism week.
A dedicated destination and marketing website, tourism service and brand – Enjoy Tees Valley – aim to boost the visitor economy and help tourists and residents experience the best of the region as it gears up to launch its bid for UK City of Culture 2025.
Tees Valley attracts as many day visitors as Newcastle and Gateshead, but it lags behind in overnight stays and national profile, and has been without a destination tourism service for a number of years.
Enjoy Tees Valley aims to attract more than 20million people and add £1billion to the local economy per year by 2021 – creating 3,000 new jobs.
Enjoy Tees Valley’s website (www.enjoyteesvalley.com) provides many more suggestions for great things to do and allows users to search for places to stay, find out what’s on, choose the best places to eat and drink, be inspired by itineraries, take advantage of special offers and build a personalised visit planner.
