We are backing national tourism board Visit England’s latest campaign - English Tourism Week – which starts on Saturday, by highlighting the range of visitor attractions people can enjoy across Central Bedfordshire.

An annual celebration of English tourism, English Tourism Week, will take place from 22 to 31 May to highlight the importance, value and contribution businesses in the tourism sector make to the local economy. This year’s theme ‘Here for Tourism’ aims to support the recovery of the sector as businesses reopen and start to rebuild, as lockdown restrictions continue to ease.

Businesses can download this year’s 'Here for Tourism' toolkit and people can share their photos on social media via Visit England’s dedicated hashtag #EnglishTourismWeek21.

A social media campaign has started which highlights different tourism businesses reopening in the area. You can keep up to date by following our Be Central Twitter.
