From Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, Councillor Ian Courts on 16 March 2010
Solihull Tourism Forum is calling all leisure, entertainment and hospitality businesses in the borough to join the new Visit Solihull website.
The Tourism Forum, co-ordinated by Solihull Council, was set up in June 2009 to link all stakeholders in the local tourism industry and promote Solihull as a great visitor destination. The new website, www.visitsolihull.com, is the Forum’s first major project.
Due to launch in April, the website will provide extensive information on places in Solihull to eat, stay and enjoy. As well as providing a tool for tourists, the website hopes to attract visitors from surrounding areas and encourage local residents to visit the businesses in the borough.
To make sure the website is as comprehensive as possible The Tourism Forum is asking all tourism related businesses to provide their details for the website.
Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, Councillor Ian Courts said: “The borough has much to offer local visitors, including a thriving town centre, beautiful parks and great leisure facilities. The website is a great opportunity for residents and visitors to easily access information on the tourist businesses in Solihull.”
Chair of the Tourism Forum and General Manager of the Ramada Hotel, Andy Cole, said: “The website will be a great opportunity for local businesses to promote what they have to offer tourists and will ensure that we capture opportunities from people passing through the area – particularly from the NEC and those that stay for business purposes.
“The site will allow people to plan their itineraries and book accommodation and attractions online, becoming a one stop shop for visitors to the area.”
