The new version of visitwyevalley.com (also available at visitmonmouthshire.com) replaces a previous visitor website and has been developed over several months to provide visitors with a modern, easily navigable website containing concise, up-to-date information on local tourism businesses and the many attractions in the area.
The website launch is particularly timely, coinciding with the publication of the 2011 Wye Valley & Vale of Usk visitor guide, at a time of year when many consumers are making decisions about where to visit the following year.
MCC’s Tourism Marketing Officer, Mark Jones, said: “The new version of visitwyevalley.com is a huge leap forward in the way we present Monmouthshire to our online audience. Throughout 2010, we’ve developed followings on social networks including Twitter and Facebook, as well as a growing list of subscribers to our quarterly e-newsletter. It’s fantastic that we’re now able to provide our followers with a modern, rebranded website that links all these elements together.”
“Many tourism operators across Wales are using the Web4-U database to promote their businesses, including several tourist associations, such as Brecon Beacons Tourism. The Web4-U system allows business operators to advertise their business on multiple websites whilst maintaining only one profile.
“It was logical to use a system which businesses were already acquainted with and which they could adopt at no cost. And take-up of the opportunity for a free business profile on the new website has been phenomenal; at the time of launch, over 240 tourism businesses across the area are displayed on the website. The Special Offers page, in particular, is a fantastic way of gaining extra coverage as well as providing website visitors with value for money and an irresistible reason to visit.”
The new website has a 'real-time' information feed from the Made in Monmouthshire website, and gives visitors to Monmouthshire the opportunity to enjoy and purchase from our wonderful selection of food and drink producers, artists and crafts-people.
