Get to grips with tourism online

Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board's Destination Management System (DMS) has been designed to suit the requirements of the tourism industry and contains updated information for the visitor which is distributed through a variety of media.

Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board, your local authority, the network of Tourist Information Centres and VisitBritain all use this information to support marketing activities, to promote your business effectively and to respond to enquiries from the public and the press.

The DMS also assists in the process of online accommodation booking, special offers, and other e-services.
