WEBSITE - NEWCASTLEGATESHEAD.COM<br />

The official website for <strong>Newcastle</strong> and <strong>Gateshead</strong>, <strong>Newcastle</strong><strong>Gateshead</strong>.com provides information about the destination to visitors, locals, event<br />

organisers, the media and you, our partners.<br />

Currently we have around 60,000 visitors (52,000 unique) each month, with ‘What’s on’ and ‘Things to do’ being two of the most popular sections. Month on month<br />

the site is continuing to grow, and as well as feeding information to national (Enjoy England) and international (Visit Britain) visitor-facing websites, it now also sends<br />

it directly to our i-App city guide - which has had over 2,000 paid-for downloads since its launch six months ago.<br />

Product / Event Listings:<br />

Increase your profile locally, nationally and internationally by ensuring the information held about your attraction, hotel, venue, event, restaurant or bar and club is up<br />

to date on our website; both from a visitor perspective and (where appropriate) as a conference venue.<br />

Visitor Accommodation Booking System:<br />

The ‘Where to stay’ section of our website is increasing in popularity (especially since we added TripAdvisor ratings to our listings) and currently visitors can book<br />

rooms on the site via third-party booking engines, but we also have our own accommodation booking system exclusively for members. By providing<br />

accommodation rates and availability directly you can appear at the top of our search results and benefit from paying lower commission rates (100% of which will<br />

go straight back into promoting <strong>Newcastle</strong>Gatehsead).<br />

Provide accommodation rates and availability From June Commission (TBC) emma.hallington@ngi.org.uk<br />

Conference Accommodation Booking System:<br />

We have a separate and dedicated online accommodation booking system specifically for delegates attending major conferences in <strong>Newcastle</strong><strong>Gateshead</strong> (called<br />

conferenceBOOKINGS). As a partner, you have access to this fully managed online system for use alongside any events you are hosting.<br />
