Poole Tourism Partnership (PTP) - A partnership between the Borough of Poole and all businesses that invest and support Poole Tourism through Visitor Guide advertisement, sponsorship or other in-kind activities.

Poole's website is visited by over 25,000 hits a month - can you afford to miss this opportunity to join us and make visitors aware of your attraction, accommodation, restaurant or activity?

Please note: to maintain our quality accommodation within Poole we do ask that all accommodation within the partnership is inspected by Quality in Tourism or the AA (self catering QIT only). 

In Poole we believe a strong partnership between the public and the private sector enables us to develop a clear vision for the future.

"We have a clear vision for tourism in poole which has been developed through our strong partnership. It has given the tourism industry far greater influence and say in the development and marketing of Poole as a successful tourism destination.  - Bruce Grant-Braham, Chairman, Poole Tourism Management Board."

As a member, you will be able to nominate biennially a representative to the Poole Tourism Management Board (or why not nominate yourself!) and have the opportunity to put forward your views and ideas.

Why not join us and be part of the innovation and commitment that the partnership makes to Poole!

There are two categories of Poole Tourism Partners:-

• Full Partners
• Affiliate Partners (Support)

Full partners are businesses that join at Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Gold+ level membership of the Poole Tourism Partnership.    Please note accommodation providers must be accredited by a Quality Assurance Scheme to join the partnership.  For further details visit Accommodation Quality Assurance on the top right hand side.

However, we recognise that there are businesses locally that support our activities in a number of ways.  These may not necessary be tourism businesses or may not benefit from full membership.  There is now an opportunity for such businesses to become affiliate partners.

The PTP meets annually at the Poole Tourism Annual Conference in November/December.
