Check out the new and improved Visit Buckinghamshire website!

The website covers everything you need to know about exploring Buckinghamshire and helps to tie together the tourism offer in the county.

The new and improved website covers everything you’d ever need to know about visiting Buckinghamshire and is being added to all the time with attractions and places to eat, drink and spend a night or two. This means that if you run an accommodation business, a coffee shop, brewery, pub, restaurant, shop, or any kind of daytime or night time attraction, you can promote it on the website to over 20,000 visitors each month.

The tourism sector is one which touches so many people and businesses that it’s hard to overstate how important it really is to the local economy in Buckinghamshire. There are just over 10 million day trips to Buckinghamshire each year and a further 1.1m overnight trips, with more than £400m spent on these trips combined. It’s also a sector that provides employment to more than 16,000 people in the county across more than 2,300 businesses, so it’s clearly a vital part of our economy.

Buckinghamshire’s united tourism sector

The Visit Buckinghamshire website is an important service as it helps to tie together the vast tourism offer that the county possesses. Most trips into Buckinghamshire are just for the day, so encouraging visitors to stay overnight is a priority, given the increased spending this brings. This requires local businesses and attractions linking up their offers to encourage extra spending, overnight stays and repeat visits.

This is made easier to achieve by the fact that Buckinghamshire is full of places that draw in the crowds. The recently released National Trust Annual Report showed that Cliveden is the third most visited National Trust attraction in the country, with Waddesdon Manor sixth and Stowe and Hughenden Manor well placed too. Throw in our award winning micro breweries, unique farm shops, incredible walking and cycling routes and attractions like Bekonscot Model Village and Go Ape, and Buckinghamshire really isn’t a hard sell.

We encourage you to go to www.visitbuckinghamshire.org to promote your business online – and of course, to plan your next trip.
