If you haven't visited Weston-super-Mare for a few years, you will find that it is not just our donkeys that have had a spruce up! Millions of pounds worth of development has gone into our resort over the last five years and we are looking better than ever.
In June 2013 Weston-super-Mare Town Council launched www.visit-westonsupermare.com, Weston's first dedicated, official destination website, to promote the town, and highlight it amongst its main competitor seaside destinations.
It is the main portal of information for both visitors and residents of the town. We aim to advertise and support our accommodation, attractions, places to eat, shops and all local businesses, as well as being the source of information for tourists and local residents alike. A not-for-profit-venture, all advertising income is generated into our national destination marketing campaigns to promote Weston-super-Mare to all potential visitors.
Since 2013 Visit Weston-super-Mare has undertaken a number of activities to grow the awareness of the brand, which have included attending group travel and trade shows, county shows and destination marketing campaigns at Birmingham Airport, Gloucester Quays, Merry Hill Shopping Centre, service stations along the M4 and M5 corridor, Bristol Airport and various publications, such as the official Rugby World Cup 2015 Guide. You may have seen us on TV when we were the match sponsor of Bristol City vs. Leeds United, broadcast on Sky Sports in 2019. Keep your eyes peeled for us up and down the country in 2020 as we begin working the Pear Communications in Welcome Break and Road Chef Motorway Service Areas - bringing the message of Visit Weston to an even wider audience.
In 2016 a seasonal Visitor Information Centre was opened at the site of the former Tropicana Lido on Weston Seafront which operates on a seasonal basis for in-resort tourist information and advice. It is also the location of the First Aid and Lost Children's point.
The Visit Weston-super-Mare Partnership starts from £150 per year (+VAT) and comes with the benefit of a listing on the destination website and advertising opportunities within the seasonal Visitor Information Centre.
