A new interactive website which enables people to share their favourite experiences of North East England is now live and taking its first entries.

Visitors to www.mynortheastengland.com can post individual reviews about the region’s accommodation providers, attractions, leisure activities, food and drink and much more based on their very own personal experiences. To complement their reviews, people can also upload pictures and videos, which others can also see and comment upon.

Managed by One North East, the free online tool is the first of its kind to be rolled out in the region and is part of a new approach in which the agency is adding to its online initiatives to promote North East England to visitors far and wide.

Tania Robinson, Head of Marketing at One North East, said: “The mynortheastengland website is a great way for people to share their thoughts on what makes the region such a popular holiday destination, whilst offering constructive reviews which others can then use when planning their next visit.”

It is hoped that the website will encourage local people to share their knowledge and expertise of the region, which could help maximise the true potential of North East England to visitors.

She added: “We’re looking for local people to get involved, as well as visitors. After all, it’s the people that live and work here that truly know how to make the most out of each venue and attraction.”

The website also features links to existing www.visitnortheastengland.com features including the Adventure Generator, which works by selecting three activities from across the North East at random, creating a diverse and sometimes surprising leisure suggestion.

Posting a review is quick and simple to do, with only the name and email address of a user needed before contributing their thoughts. To post your review today, visit www.mynortheastengland.com
