The summer season is upon us and there are so many exciting family activities and attractions in the Garden of England.

The county’s tourism champions at Visit Kent have been joining forces with their European partners as part of their new Greet the World initiative to wow thousands of visitors at two top travel fairs.

The myKent.co.uk website, developed by Visit Kent, where local people can share their favourite places to visit and experiences to be enjoyed in the county, has been highly commended in the prestigious TravelMole Web Awards UK.

A two-year Visit Kent campaign promoting the county as an international golfing destination is establishing a legacy that will provide support to local tourism businesses for many years to come.
 

Dear Editor,

Re: Good to see that art in Folkestone gets people talking

Good to hear from the Creative Foundation and FHC, who are not best noted for their ability to listen and learn.

Where better to explore this summer than the Garden of England, where history and culture come together for an unforgettable day out, weekend away or short break.

A tourism campaign to encourage more people to explore the great outdoors has boosted visitor numbers across Kent and the South East and been voted a big hit by rural businesses.

Londoners and visitors to the capital are being encouraged to step out into the Garden for a breath of fresh air – savouring a summer of culture, sampling award-winning wines and dipping their toes in the seas of Kent’s history.

Outdoor enthusiasts interested in joining Visit Kent’s Countryside Greeters stepped out in style to experience for themselves the fun of a guided walk.

With the sun shining and summer well on its way, take time out to explore Kent, the Garden of England.
