Media/advertising platforms
The group utilises all channels to attract the widest possible range of visitors, on and offline. A PR
agency has been appointed to seed news items and particularly to profile Greenwich with the tourism
trade and press to encourage business visits. They also ensure they have a regular presence at UK
and international travel trade shows under the banner of “Maritime Greenwich”.
