England’s Coast - Sample Regional Itineraries!

England’s Coast brings to life the wealth of experiences that can be enjoyed on the English coastline. Using stunning interactive videos it will enable travel trade and fully independent travellers (FITs) to be inspired to create and book bespoke itineraries to the coast.

As an island nation our coast has been pivotal to English culture and history, it offers dramatic landscapes, quaint fishing villages and cosmopolitan towns to inspire and engage visitors. Yet, England’s Coast is not featured in many international tour operator itineraries, and our research identifies consumers are interested in visiting if their awareness is increased.

To help engage the travel trade with the product we have created six sample itineraries that highlight some of the many experiences that can be enjoyed on the coast. These have been published in the brochure available for download below. The itineraries are supported by detailed information for groups and fully independent travellers (FIT) on places to stay, things to do, places to eat – to get copies of the detailed FIT or group itineraries please contact our Travel Trade Executive elaine.snow@coastaltourismacademy.co.uk
