Visit Nottinghamshire

What Visit Nottinghamshire does

Visit Nottinghamshire is a regional destination marketing organization (DMO) headquartered in Nottingham, United Kingdom, operating the official tourism portal for the county at visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk. The organization promotes Nottinghamshire to leisure tourists, event attendees, and international visitors through a content-rich website that aggregates attractions, accommodations, dining, events, and travel-planning tools, including an itinerary planner, a consumer account system, a comprehensive what's-on calendar, and dedicated directories for things to do and food and drink.

The platform is built on the Simpleview CMS, with Google Analytics for traffic measurement, Google Translate powering eight localized language versions (Russian, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese), TripAdvisor ratings integration, YouTube-embedded video content, and IAB-framework privacy controls supporting GDPR and CCPA-style opt-out mechanisms. The product portfolio includes thematic verticals — most prominently the Robin Hood sub-brand tied to Sherwood Forest and the Major Oak — and accessibility resources for visitors with disabilities. The website is supported by an active social presence across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, plus an email newsletter and SEO-optimized blog content.

Commercially, Visit Nottinghamshire does not sell travel products directly; the business model is destination-marketing services funded through advertising and (implicitly) public-sector and membership support consistent with UK DMO norms. Revenue_model_types is recorded as advertising, with no commercial pricing published. The organization coordinates with a regional partner network including Marketing Nottingham, Invest in Nottingham, Meet in Nottingham (a separate MICE-focused platform), and Nottinghamshire Partners. Founded in 2015 and employing 51–100 people, the organization leverages Nottinghamshire's designation as a UNESCO City of Literature (2024) and Home of Sport (2015) as core brand assets.
