Perhaps with the typical British weather many of us brits choose to travel abroad for our annual holiday; because of this how much do we really value what is on our doorstep to visit here in Britain. For those of us that our lucky enough to live in the great city of wells where we have a lot here just in walking distance.
Wells is also a great place to visit for those people on the British tourism trail as being the smallest city in England we have an amazing cathedral and bishop’s palace to explore. Not only is that but wells also host to the oldest complete inhabited street in Europe dating back to the eleventh century.
So wells have an amazing history and a lot of this is documented/exhibited in our local museum just of the cathedral green. And the museum today was the venue for a visit from John Penrose MP and minister for tourism, who is very interested in improving the promotion of England as a great place to visit.
Myself pictured with John Penrose MP (minister for tourism), Harvey siggs (Leader of mendip district council) and other council candidates outside Wells musuem.
As a person of a younger generation myself I can greatly see the huge benefits of excellent modern communication technique’s (the web) in marketing our City. For most people these days the web is the number one destination for finding a wide range of information. It is why should I be elected to serve as a district and city councillor in the city I will support and encourage any scheme that improves our city’s online presence.
After all Tourism is a known factor in boosting the local economy providing jobs for the locals. Tourism can already be seen as doing this in the city by the vast amount of coffee shops in the city that are always busy even more so in the summer!!
