Visit Wiltshire has been the official organisation responsible for promoting tourism in the county for over ten years. But in its last budget, Wiltshire Council decided to not renew the contract to support Visit Wiltshire, which is set to end in March 2024. Peter Wragg, the chairman of Visit Wiltshire, attended the meeting to speak before the vote. It said: “Visit Wiltshire offers an extremely good, nationally connected website with links to Visit Corsham, Chippenham, Marlborough and the Great West Way. He reminded councillors of the £100,000 inside this year’s Wiltshire Towns Programme funding destined for a tourism strategy.
