The VisitLanarkshire site offers new and enhanced features to give visitors all the information they need to plan their trip to Lanarkshire, whatever the time of year.

Features include everything from how to get here and where to stay, including some of the more unusual accommodation, to activities to suit a range of interests, historical sites, family days out and how to enjoy the local wildlife and greenspaces.

Visitors can also find news and features on VisitLanarkshire’s Facebook, Twitter and new Instagram platforms.

Councillor Ayeshah Khan, Convener of North Lanarkshire Council’s Enterprise and Fair Work Committee, said: “Lanarkshire has so much to offer and the superb new VisitLanarkshire website provides a single point of reference for both residents and for welcoming visitors to our area.

“I’d encourage everyone to take a look and discover exciting new places to visit.”

VisitLanarkshire is a partnership initiative, led by North and South Lanarkshire Councils, which co-ordinates and enhances the efforts of the wider tourism, hospitality and leisure industries in Lanarkshire to develop the area as a must-visit destination.

VisitScotland Regional Partnerships Executive Martin Breslin said: “Digital channels play an ever-increasing role in inspiring visitors, and this investment in refreshing the VisitLanarkshire.com website will have a vital role in marketing the area and sparking new ideas for what Lanarkshire has to offer year-round.

“The attractive new design will also be a great tool to reintroduce Lanarkshire to tour operators and travel agents from around the world at the VisitScotland Connect travel trade show in Aberdeen this spring.”
