British Tourism Week 2011 is now over for another year.
Watch this space for details of the 2012 event!

Saturday 12th March to Sunday 20th March 2011

British Tourism Week aims to raise local, regional, national and international awareness of the size, value and importance of Britain's £115 billion visitor economy.

Tourism is our 5th largest industry, our 3rd largest export earner and employs directly or indirectly around 2.6 million people.

The organisers of British Tourism Week wanted to find the 'Faces of British Tourism' to add to their publicity material. These faces represent the 'Best of Britain'. A member of the team at Gloucester Tourist Information Centre was selected as one of these faces and will appear alongside others representing the tourism industry.

Gloucester Tourist Information Centre will be hosting a range of events throughout the week including:
