A special free tourism event, offering local people involved in welcoming visitors to White Cliffs Country, the opportunity to find out more about the exciting offer our district provides and to pick up some top tips on engaging with visitors from the UK or abroad.
The keynote speaker is Fran Downton, Chief Executive of Tourism South East.
The day includes presentations by industry experts, on who our visitors are, the kind of experiences they’re looking for and how best to support their needs. It also highlights the support available to visitors and tourism providers, including the important role of Dover’s Visitor Information Centre, as well as sharing advice on how to successfully market your business.
We’re keen to showcase new and exciting visitor experiences in White Cliffs Country… from sea kayaking expeditions beside the White Cliffs, to vineyard wine tastings and spooky family-friendly tours of Dover’s Victorian Gaol.
