TOURISM staff from Sedgemoor District Council have been traveling the country in a bid to persuade other people to come to Burnham for their holidays.

Working in partnership with the Sedgemoor Tourism Association, the representatives have been visiting the National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

The show is a key promotional opportunity for the tourism industry, and the council's stall contained a wealth of information on Sedgemoor holidays in a bid to attract more visitors - and more money - to the area.
