Recently, the TeesValley Combined Authority, with a wide variety of partners, has disclosed his efforts to agree with the start of English Tourism week. A dedicated destination, followed by a comprehensive marketing website, tourism service and brand – Enjoy Tees Valley – together all set to perk up the visitor economy and assist visitors and residents to let them experience the best of the region as it’s all prepares to introduce its bid for UK City of Culture 2025.
Statistics show Tees Valley draws similar number of day visitors as Newcastle and Gateshead. However, it fails to keep up with overnight stays and national profile and for many years, it has been without a destination tourism service whatsoever. Enjoy Tees Valley is all set to draw more than 20million visitors and add £1billion to our economy every year by 2021, generating 3,000 new jobs. To quote Ben Houchen, Tess Valley Mayor, “From our industrial skyline to our stunning rolling countryside, each town and village that makes up the Tees Valley is rich with local culture, heritage and attractions. We are passionate about our home and, with the new Enjoy Tees Valley brand, we can capitalise on our strengths and ensure that visitors to the area get to sample more and experience more.”

On HMS Trincomalee, the oldest floating warship in the world, the service was launched at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool. Studies have that shown that the Experience, along with Middlesbrough’s Institute of Modern Art (mima), Stockton’s Butterfly World, Kirkleatham Museum, in Redcar and Darlington’s South Park, are some of the must visits for the visitors.
