Visit East Yorkshire Tourism Update - 16/11/20
We hope you’re all keeping safe and well during these unsettling times and that you’ll find this week’s update of use. We look forward to working with many of you on our Shop Local Online Campaign. If you know of others that may find any of the information in this update useful, please do pass it on.
Shop Local Online
During these unprecedented times, we want to promote shopping local and all the ways there are to support local businesses. We are creating a section of our website to link directly to your business on line shopping offer, and will be promoting this via our social channels. If you are a small/medium sized business which is a food, drink, retail, tourism experience or leisure service business located in East Yorkshire and are offering delivery, click and collect, on-line, takeaway services and vouchers, and would like to be featured, please send an image and link to your online shop to emma.robinson@vhey.co.uk.
If you know anyone that may benefit from this campaign please feel free to pass on this information.
