Canterbury Festival, lack of advertising ?

by Jimmy Hutcheon

According to local shops and hotels, Canterbury festival didn't increase the cities business. Last year 72 000 people attended the events. As reported by the tourism office and the Canterbury Festival this

year was a good year again. The figures will be published early December.

But local hotel, coffee and souvenir shops say that the festival attracts only local people.

The Canterbury gate hotel says bookings has decreased compared to last years.

Boho's owner says that the festival attracts more particular people and blames a lack of advertising.

Stephanie Klinge Davis, marketing Manager of Canterbury Festival says that people who talk about a lack of advertising, didn't try to be aware.
