East Berwickshire Tourism Association formed
.
A GROUP of East Berwickshire tourism operators have formed a local association aimed at representing the needs of the industry in the area. By focusing on the attractions that Berwickshire's coast has to offer visitors rather than those commonly promoted elsewhere in the Borders, the new association hopes it can work with the area tourist board and other interested parties to market East Berwickshire. In particular, the group is keen to work with neighbouring coastal tourism groups in East Lothian and Northumberland to increase awareness of the attractions of the Border coastal area and its immediate inland surrounds. It has already started work on projects aimed at increasing visitor awareness including plans to install a small mobile "information centre" at the Lamberton layby for the coming summer season and steps to link together local community websites to provide greater information to internet enquiries. Membership of the East Berwickshire Tourism Association (EBTA) is open to all local tourism businesses and visitor attractions and interested parties should contact the group's chairman Dave Jones on 018907 71760 or secretary Barbara Wood on 71715.
