Calling for Out of Season Marketing for our Seaside Towns
In the Debate yesterday on Seaside Towns and tourism Laura was joined by a range of MPs who were calling for a greater focus on out of season marketing of tourism.
“It is crucial that we extend our tourism season to support our local businesses, secure additional jobs and showcase that we are not just a location for the summer sunny months,” said Laura. “I was also able to showcase what Thanet has to offer to ensure that the Minister realised that we are one of the premier locations in England.”
“There are three key measures that I put to the Minister – greater marketing out of season for our seaside towns, investigate the opportunities that a social tourism scheme would offer us nationally and also to support the Daylight Saving Bill that would give us one more hour in the evening and boost tourism by £3.5 billion. We need a step change in perceptions about our seaside towns and very much hope that there will be progress soon.”
