Know Kent Better, Love it More

Celebrating Kent is a new Visit Kent initiative designed to support tourism, leisure and hospitality businesses in the run up to the Olympics in 2012.

The aim of the programme is to recognise and raise standards of customer service and to boost general awareness of the many local attractions and places to visit in the area so that our visitors have a truly unforgettable welcome.
