Work With Us

Bournemouth is a cosmopolitan, world class destination located on Britain’s south coast in the county of Dorset. It was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell and shortly afterwards became a recognised health resort and spa town, attracting Victorian visitors for the medicinal benefits of its sea air and pine scented walkways.

Today, it’s one of the UK’s most popular seaside resorts and we welcome almost 7 million visitors a year. There’s a vibrant and bustling feel to the town, enriched by our multicultural population and emerging arts scene. Nevertheless, we’re fiercely proud of our Victorian heritage, including our listed architecture and gardens, and it’s this mix of a truly modern lifestyle with historic roots that makes coming to Bournemouth such a unique and life affirming experience.

At Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Tourism, we work with partners and businesses across the destination, led by the Destination Management Board, to create unforgettable memories for the holidaymakers and day trippers that visit the town. Together with BCP Council, the resort’s Town Centre and Coastal Business Improvement Districts and many other industry organisations and agencies, we are committed to campaigns and innovations that retain our position as a leading resort.

We also integrate services and offers with tourism professionals in the rest of Dorset as well as bordering counties, including Hampshire and Wiltshire, to make sure that our visitors have easy access to everything on offer in the wider region.

From traditional seaside attractions and brand new adventures to a huge variety of restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as family friendly festivals, it’s no wonder that we’ve got a reputation as an ‘eventful’ destination. There’s so much going on and so much to see, we’re sure you’ll #lovebournemouth as much as we do!
