The White Cliffs Country Tourism Association brings together a wide range of people with an interest in tourism and a passion for the area in which they live or work.

For some, that interest is sparked by a part-time role they play, perhaps as a volunteer at one of the area’s many attractions. For others, tourism is their livelihood, at the heart of everything they do.

Together they speak with a unified voice that promotes the area, highlights what White Cliffs Country has to offer and speaks out against anything that might harm the interests of tourism operators locally.

* Dover District is defined as the area covered by Dover District Council, which includes Dover, Deal, Sandwich and surroundings. WCCTA represents all of this area.
