Love Eastbourne? Love Twitter?



One of my own tweeted sunrise photos!

 Managing the VisitEastbourne twitter feed each day, I read hundreds, if not thousands, of tweets on a weekly basis from a variety of people and businesses who love Eastbourne! From posting dazzling photos of sunrises to recommending the best places for coffee - it's really inspiring to read tweets from those who are genuinely passionate about the town.

This got us thinking and we want to use that twitter and Eastbourne passion to put a call out to put together a network of people who love Eastbourne and love social media to act as virtual greeters and offer recommendations online for those planning visits to the town.

On our busy twitter feed, we regularly receive tweets from visitors planning a trip to our south coast destination and with visitors asking for tips on what to see and do in Eastbourne, we want to launch a network of virtual greeters to act as ambassadors for the town and share their own recommendations with visitors.

We want to launch the Virtual Greeter scheme in time for English Tourism Week from 10 – 18 March and are calling for anyone interested in becoming a virtual greeter to come along to the VisitEastbourne tweetup on 15 March and find out more.

The tweetup takes place from 4pm – 7.30pm at the Winter Garden’s Congress Suite and businesses and individuals can drop-in between those times. RSVP now! For those who are unable to make the tweetup but are interested in becoming a Virtual VisitEastbourne Greeter, they should send us a tweet on twitter!
