East Lothian Under the Spotlight
2/14/2022
New Film for Tourism Industry.
The east coast of Scotland is now to feature in a special film to help attract tourists.
East Lothian is a part of the UK that has long acted
as a magnet for groups of visitors – many of whom are drawn to the area because
of its stunning coastline and unspoilt countryside. Boasting historic castles,
quaint market towns and group-friendly attractions and hotels, it has lots to offer
coach and tour operators.
Group travel specialists Steve Reed Tourism Ltd from
Hampshire working with Eastwood Media from North Wales are to produce a short
film to help tour planners arrange their tours to East Lothian. The finished
film will be distributed to the travel trade around the country helping to
reinforce the area’s popularity with tour organisers.
The process of filming will also result in individual
films about the towns of Haddington, North Berwick and Dunbar. The shoot is
expected to take place in April or May this year. Several local hotels,
attractions, tourism businesses and venues will be included in the filming
schedule – each with the aim of underlining East Lothian’s group travel
credentials.
Situated just outside Edinburgh, East
Lothian makes for a great touring area. With over 40 miles of stunning
coastline, golden sandy beaches, rolling green countryside, pretty towns and
villages, award-winning attractions as well as excellent food & drink, many
think this is some of the very best of Scotland!
Claire Dutton, Visit Lothian spokesperson
said:
‘Groups always seem to enjoy our area as there are so
many varied and different things for visitors in groups to experience. The film
will help tour planners to see exactly what it is that makes East Lothian so special
– it will certainly assist them to put together their tours.’
