£228,000 to go towards rural tourism
MORE than £200,000 is to be put towards tourism in rural areas of the county.
The European Union has given Visit Essex a £114,000 match-funding grant towards the cause, meaning the authority had to put up the same figure to receive it.
The money will fund a two-year project to promote sport and culture run by the body, which is a public-private partnership that promotes the county as a tourist destination.
