”"Having worked with Visit Thanet over a number of years, delivering a variety of travel features and reviews on the region and its hotels, I have found the press team to be more than helpful – both pro-active and reactive and always going the extra mile. A joy to work with, Visit Thanet is, without doubt, one of UK's best destination management organisations."
