Promoting our Creative Coast

Posted by Lorraine Smith 21st February 2019

Visit Kent is starting a new initiative to promote Kent’s Creative Coast. As part of the Discover England Fund (DEF) project, funded by Visit England, they are working to develop a brand-new product to promote England’s exceptional art and cultural offering to international visitors.

England’s Creative Coast

England’s Creative Coast (ECC) is an innovative new visitor experience that will allow travel trade and Fully Independent Travellers (FITs) from France and The Netherlands to gain inspiration, browse and plan their own bespoke cultural travel itineraries. The Folkestone & Hythe District is full of numerous creative businesses that could benefit from being included in the listing.
