There is
fantastic news for the North East as VisitBritain, Newcastle Airport and
NewcastleGateshead Initiative have announced a partnership to promote the
region to overseas visitors. The aim of the partnership is to encourage more
visitors to come to the North East and explore our culture and heritage over
the course of three years. The initiative will target visitors from Germany in
its first year, with direct flights from Berlin to Newcastle making the North
East an attractive destination. Northumberland Tourism are one of several
organisations involved with the project, which will hopefully showcase the
North East as a great destination for international tourists, improving the
economy and the tourism industry in the area. Next year’s Great Exhibition of
the North will also play a significant role in encouraging international
tourists to visit the region, with exhibits, performances, culture and much
more hopefully promoting the North East to a wider audience. We know that the
North East is a wonderful place to live and visit- this partnership will make
sure everyone else knows too!
