Poole's reputation as the most glamorous resort in the UK is set to continue after comparisons to Miami, Beverly Hills and Florida Keys.

Thanks to world class beaches including the internationally renown Sandbanks, the largest natural harbour in Europe - a haven for watersports, bustling working quayside, fabulous alfresco fine dining and one of the best programmes of free family events in the UK, Poole is tipped as one of the best places for a UK "staycation".

Poole's new 2010 Visitor Guide, launched this week makes the most of the town's fabulous assets.   Lauded as "one of our coolest destinations" in the Mail on Sunday, the Guide's contemporary design is not just a market leader promotional tool, it's packed with useful information.

Featuring Poole's special events programme, accommodation, attractions, contemporary fine dining, maps as well as useful information on the town's rich history and all important discount vouchers, the guide is proving a winning formula not only for visitors to the town.  Local residents are snapping up the guide which is ideal for visiting family and friends. 

Bruce Grant-Braham, Poole Tourism Partnership Chairman, said: "It's easy to forget when you live here just how lucky we are but our visitors remind us every year.  Our unique environment and fabulous facilities offer quality that is hard to beat in UK.  With such a wonderful product it's no wonder Poole's reputation invites comparison with world class destinations."
