 London Councils funds Visit London to deliver a programme of activity focussed on London's Boroughs. An important aim of the programme is to equip local authorities with the necessary marketing skills to promote their tourism offer effectively. With this in mind, a number of marketing tools have been developed that are practical and easy to use. We hope that you will find the material useful and we welcome any feedback.
