Visit Nottinghamshire, official tourism body for the region, has launched a brand-new guide to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to inspire people to visit the area and boost the local economy.

The guide will be distributed to visitor attractions, hotels and Tourist Information Centres across the country and is also available to collect in the Nottingham Tourism Centre just off Old Market Square. Visitors can also request, view, download and print the guide online at www.visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk/plan-a-visit/request-a-visitor-guide.

The guide showcases the best of what the region has to offer, plus articles providing information about the history, legends and culture of Nottingham, Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest, the vast cave network, Nottingham Castle’s £30 million regeneration and much, much more.

If that wasn’t enough, there is also a comprehensive directory of attractions, things to do, shopping, accommodation and drinking/dining options, making it nice and easy for visitors to plan and book a visit.

Kinga Kapias, Acting Marketing and Communications Manager at Visit Nottinghamshire, said:  “Nottinghamshire’s visitor economy is growing year on year, and it’s now worth over £1.9bn and supports over 23,000 full time jobs. Our website, www.visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk, had a record-breaking 4 million page views last year, suggesting that vast numbers of visitors are now using it to research their trip online, but we have found that there’s still a very strong demand for printed media that you can pick up and flick through on a coffee table or in a hotel room.”
