One of our recent campaigns was Dog Friendly Cotswolds.  We're a nation of pet lovers and dog ownership in the UK has jumped to an estimated 12.5 milllion in 2021. The Cotswolds are a perfect dog-friendly destination and our campaign highlighted all the wonderful places to stay, eat and things to do in our area with a four-legged friend.

#MyCotswoldSmile was a mini campaign to boost good feeling about the reopening of the Cotswolds.

Away from the better-known and certainly more visited Cotswold towns and villages are a whole host of equally beautiful but often completely undiscovered gems, rich in history and heritage and surrounded by stunning countryside.

We teamed up with VisitBritain Japan in hosting Posukuma the Bear, who’s the mascot for Japan’s equivalent of the Royal Mail.

The Escape the Everyday Destination Management Organisations’ Recovery Marketing Fund allowed Cotswolds Tourism to deliver local marketing activities aligned to the national campaign. Our highly-successful campaign piggy-backed the national campaign but centred around our own hashtag Escape to the Cotswolds.

A series of free training videos alongside some helpful notes to help businesses in the Cotswolds improve their online presence and digital skills.

The ‘Uncover the Cotswolds' project encompassed the Cotswolds, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Forest of Dean & Wye Valley. It is one of a number of projects to benefit from the Government’s £40 million Discover England Fund.
