Its british tourism week.

Be Part of It….. 
12th – 20th March 2011 During British Tourism Week 2011, businesses and organisations all over the UK will be involved in activities aimed at promoting the importance and diversity of our domestic tourism industry.



The key aims of British Tourism Week are: 

• To raise the profile and importance of tourism with politicians, the media, those who work in the industry and those considering a career in the industry;
• To increase awareness with consumers of the product itself, its diversity, accessibility and sustainability; 
• To promote training and professionalism in tourism; and
• To support the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

There is also plans for ‘Party on the Pier’, a national celebration of Britain’s piers and their heritage were also announced at the briefing by Gyles Brandreth, Patron of the National Piers Society. Party on the Pier will kick off the fifth annual British Tourism Week on Saturday 12th March 2011 with simultaneous parties hosted on seaside piers, harbours and jetties around the coast and on inland rivers, canals and lakes.

Also to celebrate British Tourism Week, the National Trust has created five new downloadable coastal walks for the British public to enjoy. Each route offers clear directions, a map of the area and interesting facts to discover along the way which can be downloaded from www.nationaltrust.org.uk/britishtourismweek.
