Design of a website to promote Cambridgeshire

Abstract

The objective of my final degree project is to promote Cambridgeshire, as a tourist destination and to do this through the development of a Website which will be in English so that it will be accessible to a wider audience. The website will be directed at the general public offering very diverse activities, attractions and lodgings of several categories, therefore it can suit a wide public, with different incomes and tastes. One of the main objectives of my project is to create awareness of the area which can be visited and not just the focal point which in this case is Cambridge. The website offers the tourist an insight into what makes up the county of Cambridgeshire and provides information which will help when it comes to travelling and selecting destinations to see. In order for the tourist to gain a real essence of the country and its history the information is provided through the use of the website. In the website I describe several towns in Cambridgeshire which deserve to be seen. Then the traveller will only have to choose the town that they want to visit, according how much free time they have to spend on those trips. The tourist will travel from Cambridge to the surrounding towns, in this way it will be easy to return to Cambridge everyday after enjoying the one day trips.
