The first screenings of the new TV advert promoting North East England as a visitor destination were broadcast today. Showing on ITV1 and Channel 4 in areas within a three-hour drive time and nationwide on satellite television, the commercial features spectacular, new aerial shots of the North East’s coast and countryside, along with fantastic footage of the region’s many dining and shopping destinations. The new advert aims to capitalise on the growing trend for holidaymakers to stay at home this year.
Popular North East attractions such as Bamburgh Castle, the Cheviot Hills, Boulby Cliffs, Durham City, Hadrian’s Wall, NewcastleGateshead and The Angel of the North all make an appearance.
Hollywood actor Sean Pertwee, best known for his roles in “Goal”, “Cold Feet” and “Event Horizon” is the voice of the advert which follows the theme: “When does a place become part of you … when you’re in North East England?” to inspire potential visitors to come to the region.
