26/01/07
The multiplicity of attractions in the Vale of Glamorgan and
Bridgend areas are once again highlighted in a joint tourism
brochure.
The free 2007 Glamorgan Heritage Coast and Countryside
publication is now available and is being sent on request to
prospective national and international visitors and residents.
The tourism departments in the Vale and Bridgend County Borough
Councils have once again teamed up to produce an informative and
stylish 44-page brochure which showcases the region's attractions
and promotes a huge variety of quality recreational ideas.
Readers are invited to 'share the magic' and learn more about
the unique area, including the towns of Barry, Bridgend, Cowbridge,
Llantwit Major, Penarth and Porthcawl, the heritage coast, hills
and countryside.
The brochure places the spotlight on specific topics as feeling
exhilarated and appreciating the finer things in life, and lists
just some events that are ‘a must’ in the year ahead. Visitors can
choose to read about an impressive range of recreational and sports
activities including paintballing, leisure centres, karting, spas
and golf.
Also listed are dates of continental markets, festivals and
fairs, and unusual events such as Christmas Day morning swims!
There are 15 pages highlighting the wide range of holiday
accommodation available across the area.
Vale Tourism Marketing Manager Claire Evans has reported
"excellent early feedback," and said: "The brochure complements our
range of literature, ‘Days Out, Fascinating Towns, Country Parks
and Legendary Villages.’ The team provides a comprehensive public
service offering inspiring ideas, and we are keen to highlight that
the area boasts all year round opportunities.”
Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism Cllr Gwyn John said: "We
are expecting to send out around 80,000 brochures but this figure
does not include those downloaded from our website.
"The beautiful brochure is just one of the ways that we promote
the jewels of the heritage coast and countryside, and we work with
partners such as Visit Wales to ensure maximum exposure and
interest."
The brochure is available at exhibitions, websites, tourist
information centres, many motorway service stations, ports,
libraries and Council offices.
