People from all around the world have been homing in on the Discover Carmarthenshire website in dramatically increasing numbers.
But the majority of interest is from across Offa’s Dyke, with more than half (51.32%) registering their interest from England.
Whilst last year (2014) a quarter of a million people from around the globe were seeking information about what’s going on in the county and its attractions, to July this year more than 25,000 more visits have been made over previous years. Since January this year a total of 173,625 visits have been made.
Executive Board Member for Regeneration and Tourism Cllr Meryl Gravell said it was fascinating to see that website visits were registered from Australia to the States and Germany to Brazil.
“London calling scored 6,173 in July with Bristol registering 1,398; Birmingham 758, Manchester 311, Leeds 268 and Worchester 242.”
A Facebook campaign started in February this year has linked through more traffic to Discover Carmarthenshire.
