Stratford-upon-Avon's efforts to promote tourism

A new website and leaflets have been produced to promote tourism in Stratford-upon-Avon following the closure of a tourism company.

South Warwickshire Tourism Ltd ran the tourist information service until it closed in March.

Since then, a Discover Stratford website has launched and a Tourist Information Centre, run by students, has opened in the town.

Thousands of leaflets have been distributed to promote the attractions.

Councillor Mike Brain, the district council's portfolio holder for community services, said the next year was set to be an exciting time for the town with the reopening of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
