All About WVFDTA - Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism Association
This website is produced by the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean Tourism Association. We are an association of local businesses all claiming their livelihood in whole or in part from the tourism industry in the area.
We came into existence on 6 December 2006 as an amalgamation of the two separate organisations that represented the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean as we feel that this whole area, which encompasses an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, should be viewed and promoted as one tourist destination.
The Association is rightly proud of the huge range of attractions, activities and natural beauty that the area now have to offer the visitor, and we aim to promote ourselves and the area nationwide. In addition, we have become well known for our production of specialist food and drink, which adds to the visitor's experience. Our aim is for high quality, sustainable tourism and to this end, we continue to work closely with the three local council tourism departments.
Membership includes many benefits: free entry into our publications which are distributed widely, free entry with a colour photo and description onto this website, representation at national and local promotional shows and events, discounts from councils’ publications and websites. We hold regular meetings open to the membership, which provide a good opportunity for networking.
