Supporting your business

Welcome to West Dorset District Council's site for local tourism businesses.

On these pages you'll find information about working with West Dorset District Council's tourism team and details of how we can help you to promote your tourism business.

Get ready for 2012!

If you have holiday accommodation, an attraction, a place to eat out or other business that you would like help to promote next year, take a look at our brand new 2012 Promotional Packages on the working with us pages. There's never been a better time to come on board!

All participants in our membership scheme can promote availability free of charge on our short breaks and special offers pages. You can also update your availability using the availabilty extranet to ensure holiday-makers can search your availability on line.

Check out the latest news page for recent tourism updates from West Dorset District Council, new developments on the Visit Dorset website and the results of 2009 West Dorset tourism guide.

For effective, low cost training for all tourism businesses, take a look at the new AUTUMN 2011 timetable from the Dorset & New Forest Tourism Partnership. It's available now on our training and skills page.

And don't forget to take a look at our business support pages for all the latest help and advice on running your tourism business.
