VistiTeesValley work in partnership with the five local authorities of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton on Tees, to promote the Tees Valley to visitors, locally, nationally and internationally.

VistiTeesValley are involved in a wide range of initiatives focusing on the main markets of:

• Business tourism
• Leisure/consumer tourism
• Group travel
• Festivals and Events
• Workforce Development

VistiTeesValley aim to create a lasting impression, which will encourage visitors to come back and spread the good word about the Tees Valley. In 2003 the impact of tourism was £393 million added to the local economy, which supports over 14,000 actual jobs.

COMMUNICATION NEEDS:

Tees Valley Tourism had two issues. They wanted to reach a wider audience and they want to make administration of their content easier. We made their content more accessible through our CMS and therefore work harder for them on search engines.
