The Bournemouth Tourism marketing team are busy collating next year’s Guide – packed with ideas, inspiration, stunning pictures, action, adventure and information about our leading resort. Information packs have been sent and if you want to advertise you had better hurry as the closing date for the early booking discount is Friday 13th June at 4pm. Not only have the prices been held at 2008 rates, this year the Guide package offers additional benefits such as membership of SW Tourism and special marketing campaigns for advertisers who book a quarter page or more.

Despite the internet and electronic media, many people still prefer to receive a glossy guide that they can browse to make their holiday decisions. 200,000 copies are printed each year and distributed via a number of marketing activities, including direct mailing campaigns reader requests in national newspapers, exhibitions and online requests.

Why advertise? It’s not only a printed advert you get in the glossy guide but an array of marketing and PR services, which include advertising and promotion; your own page on the www.bournemouth.co.uk website; the chance to raise your profile and work with the PR team on a variety of national and regional press trips and competitions.
