Note to Editors

Bournemouth is one of the UK's leading seaside resorts. Skirting the Eastern shore of a beautiful natural harbour on England's South coast, the resort is a popular destination for tourists and conference attendees. Although the town itself has a population of only 168,000, over four million people visit the resort each year. A regular favourite of every major political party, the town will this year host the Conservative party conference from 4th October.
