Visit England
The VisitEngland (prior to 1999 the English Tourist Board and between 1999 and 2009 English Tourism Council) is the tourist board for England. In 2003 it merged with the British Tourist Authority to form VisitBritain. In April 2009, VisitEngland was re-launched as a separate corporate body, no longer part of VisitBritain.
For marketing purposes England is now served by an official website called EnjoyEngland. Its stated mission is: "to grow the value of the domestic tourism market by encouraging people to spend more on tourism throughout the English regions, throughout the year."

Famous quotes containing the words visit and/or england:
“They will visit you at your convenience, whether you are lonesome or not, on rainy days or fair. They propose themselves as either transient acquaintances or permanent friends. They will stay as long as you like, departing or returning as you wish. Their friendship entails no obligation. Best of all, and not always true of our merely human friends, they have Cleopatra’s infinite variety.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
