NEW TOURISM BOOKLET PUBLISHED ON ACCESSIBLE MARKET
The most comprehensive business case for accessible tourism in England launches today.

New developments have been launched on Destination Dorset's tourism website - www.visit-dorset.com. The new features include an itinerary planner for web users to build their break and an option to sign up for E-newsletters from Visit-Dorset. The www.visit-dorset.com website is administered by West Dorset District Council's tourism team on behalf of the Destination Dorset tourism partnership.
