Core Marketing - Digital
www.visitkent.co.uk is the official tourism website for all of Kent and Winner of Tourism South East's Tourism ExSEllence Award 2008.
Our website provides comprehensive information about Kent to over 2.5 million visitors each year.
Advertising on the website can dramatically increase your reach and help you communicate with audiences that traditional forms of advertising do not reach.
In addition to free listings for tourism businesses across the region, you can take advantage of our Online Booking Service and the Visit Kent eShop. We also offer a range of banner advertising opportunities that can help you raise your profile even further.
Our competitive pricing makes this an unmissable opportunity!
Free Website Listing
Free website entry for accommodation providers, venues and attractions comprising of:
- 75 words of text
- 1 image
- address and phone number
- availability grid and real-time booking (optional - see below)
The page ranking for all accommodation providers will be determined by update frequency on Guestlink. This means that by updating your details and availability online on a regular basis, you can ensure that your listing is displayed at the top of the search results.
As we are partners with the main national tourism websites, your entry will be shown on websites like www.visitbritain.co.uk and www.enjoyengland.com, offering you the opportunity to reach millions of visitors at no extra cost.
Free Events Listings
Once your business is listed on the Visit Kent website, you can add details of any events at your property. These will then be shown on your business' entry page and in our events database. You can include:
- Date(s) and time(s) of the event
- Brief event description
- Price information
Moreover, Visit Kent supplies events data to third-party websites so that as many people as possible can see your events listings.
Online Booking Service
Visit Kent uses the New Vision Destination Management System and Guestlink on its website. Guestlink makes online booking possible to any business, regardless of how big or small it is. One of the major strengths of this system is its great reach: You will not only be bookable on www.visitkent.co.uk, but also on our partner sites www.roomcheck.co.uk, www.enjoyengland.com and www.visitbritain.co.uk.
Visit Kent charges a competitive commissions rate of 10% + VAT on bookings – no hidden fees or charges!
To sign up for online booking, please download an accommodation provider agreement in PDF format here and return it to Mark Whitling by email.
eShop
Similar to the Online Booking System, Visit Kent enables tourism businesses across Kent to sell merchandise, attraction passes or events tickets through its eShop. If you would like to become a fulfiller on the Visit Kent website and sell your products online, please download our eShop Information Pack in PDF format here or contact Mark Whitling by email.
