Tourism Tyne and Wear Marketing Opportunities

Tourism Tyne & Wear offers many different marketing opportunities to tourism businesses. The aim is increase the quality and exposure of what is produced and reduce the duplication that sometimes occurs across local authority areas, where each authority produces their own guide. The visitor doesn't think in local authority areas, any good marketing should reflect the destination areas they recognise, not the political or administrative ones.
