great prizes from concert tickets to fish and chips!
English tourism week was set up by
VisitEngland and is a week long celebration of events from 16-24 March. The week
will highlight all the fantastic things to do and see in England and Eastbourne.
Eastbourne and Tourism go hand in
hand as 4.9 million visitors come to Eastbourne each year and spend an average
of £261 million annually. Further more, £102 million is spent just by day
visitors alone! Eastbourne thrives on tourism as it brings over 7000 jobs to
Eastbourne and a whopping £346 million to the local economy.
Eastbourne was the first town to hire out
quadricycles. To celebrate this and English tourism week, Ride and Joy are
offering half price hiring on both weekends of English tourism week - 16/17 and
23/24 March. They can be found next to the open air tennis courts on Eastbourne
seafront and are a fantastic way to see the delights of Eastbourne.
