Discover Yorkshire Coast is the official tourism organisation of Scarborough Borough Council. They welcome the opportunity to work with our tourism businesses to promote the region and help them grow.
Their strategy is to focus on the visitor economy and to promote the Yorkshire Coast as an all year round destination showcasing the region as both coast and countryside, as well as being in close proximity to York.
