Brilliant Bristol!!

We love Bristol and always have proudly basing ourselves in the heart of the city on the harbour side! So great news to hear, according to Destination UK, tourism value here has reached a new high! The value of tourism in Bristol is said to have topped the £750m mark for the first time and visitors to the South West in 2005 spent nearly £9b with Bristol emerging as one of the tourism hotspots!

The exciting part being Bristol's new found status as an international travel destination with overseas visitors now spending more than UK overnight visitors. This is also impacted by Bristol airport increasing it's route network.

We have fantastic contacts in the South West to organise the hundreds of stag weekends, hen weekends and brilliant Bristol weekends. We also try and test numerous activities and venues in and around the area - tough life!

It's good to see this diverse city start to get the recognition it deserves...and makes the redevelopment chaos seem worth while!!
