FOR THE first time the North West Tourist Board (NWTB) and Cumbria Tourist Board (CTB) has teamed up with the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA) to launch a new glossy magazine style souvenir guide - Discover englandsnorthwest' - region to be cheerful.
The brand new 2003 consumer guide features the very best of England's North West, from stunning countryside to gracious stately homes, vibrant cities and glorious coastline, and world class museums to spectacular shops, plus a whole host of ideas of places and things to enjoy over May Day bank holiday weekend.
The 75-page guide has been designed to help visitors plan their stay ensuring they don't miss out on the Northwest's top and newest attractions. Published by the NWTB marketing department, designed and produced by Heckford Advertising. Anyone wanting to obtain their free copy of Discover englandsnorthwest' can simply call 0845 600 6040.
Anthony Goldstone, Chairman of the NWTB said: "The new guide is fantastic and very inspiring, encompassing the best of Cheshire, Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire and features spectacular photography which I am sure will entice visitors to the region in their droves."
Stephen Broughton, Chairman of Cumbria Tourist Board's publications and tactical marketing committee, said: "This new guide shows that Cumbria is an inspiring area of outstanding natural beauty, with spectacular lakes and mountains at its heart. It gives people a taste of the relaxing and rejuvenating breaks that are available in the area."
The North West Tourist Board (NWTB) is a partnership between VisitBritain, 39 local authorities and 1,200 tourism businesses in the region. Its role is to increase the benefits tourism brings to the region, currently worth £6 billion, supporting almost 200,000 jobs and representing seven per cent of the region's GDP.
Peter Mearns, Director of Marketing, NWDA, said: "Tourism is one of the NWDA's top priorities - a successful and vibrant tourism sector helps the whole region by strengthening the image we present nationally and internationally. I'm very pleased we have produced this first regional guide to tourism which fully exploits the diversity on offer in England's North West, to visitors."
