Working with you to promote our area

We know that Thanet is a great destination and we want to work with you to make sure everyone else knows what the area has to offer.

Our goal is to boost the local economy year-round by attracting more overnight visitors - people who will spend on accommodation, restaurants and shopping. This is key to helping our local businesses grow and create quality, stable jobs.
