New scheme to promote Buxton
Vision Buxton has paid for membership of the Visit Peak District & Derbyshire Town Membership scheme to help further promote the spa town’s retailers, cafés, restaurants and pubs.
The scheme will enable Buxton retailers or eating establishments to be promoted on the official tourist board’s popular website www.visit peakdistrict.com and be listed on the Peak Explorer App, with the potential for further advertising opportunities in the future.
