MONMOUTHSHIRE County Council is offering financial support for groups of tourism businesses or communities to develop new digital tourism networks or to improve existing networks.

Technology has brought about great change to the way potential visitors search for and book holidays, and how they access information about their holiday destinations.

This programme will help tourism businesses and communities adopt new technologies that enable them to meet visitor expectations.

Funded through the Welcome Monmouthshire rural development plan for Wales project, successful proposals could be eligible to have 100 per cent of the costs of new technologies covered.
