Destination Management

As the Destination Management Organisation for St Albans, we are responsible for managing tourism at a local and global level, to help attract tourists and support businesses by spreading the word about our wonderful city and highlighting everything we have to offer to Shop, Eat, Stay and Enjoy St Albans.

This includes marketing and advertising campaigns, regular PR and listings, delivering events and event sponsorship, developing partnerships, as well as producing the official Visitor Guide.

The city’s tourism website Enjoystalbans.com is also delivered and managed by St Albans BID.

You can find us on Facebook and Instagram @enjoystalbans the official St Albans destination account and @shopstalbans where we post regularly about the latest events, offers and news from our local businesses.
