Borders Tourist Board - About Us:

The Borders Tourist Board is a group of independent, tourism-related businesses, formed in June 2007. We have two main aims, firstly to offer cost-effective marketing to our members and secondly to promote The Borders as a tourist destination.

If you are a stranger to The Borders:

We regard The Borders as a hidden gem - a million miles from the bustle and stress of city life, yet less than an hour from the airports at Edinburgh or Newcastle. It is a region of hills and rolling countryside and a spectacular coastline. In addition, it has a unique and turbulent history which has moulded the present-day character of the area. So, browse through and enjoy this website. When you have decided how to spend your time when you get here, and where to stay, simply contact the relevant businesses directly, using the contact-details they have provided.

If you are a local business:

Join us. As a member of The Borders Tourist Board, you will benefit from our cost-effective, website marketing. Far more important, The Borders Tourist Board is run by a Committee elected from the Membership, so you can have a say in what we do. It costs only £60 per year to be a member, (ie only £5 per month). Join by following the simple instructions on the website, or contact any one of the members of the Committee. We look forward to welcoming you.
