About Sussex Tourism Alliance

Your official guide to one of England’s most vibrant and diverse counties.

About Sussex Tourism

Sussex Tourism is the independent guide to everything East and West Sussex has to offer — from vibrant cities and coastal escapes to countryside retreats and cultural gems. We connect visitors with unforgettable experiences and support the organisations that make Sussex special.

Our mission is to inspire discovery, support the businesses that welcome visitors, and protect the landscapes and heritage that define our county. Whether you're here to explore, study, do business, or invest, we bring together the people, places, and insights that make Sussex thrive.

As part of the Sussex Tourism Alliance, we advocate for the region’s visitor economy, promote sustainable travel, and champion quality across hospitality, culture, and education. Through campaigns, events, and partnerships, we help shape a stronger, more connected future for tourism in Sussex.

Why Sussex, Why Now

140+ miles of coastline, the South Downs National Park, and world-class arts and events.
A thriving economy across aviation, digital, hospitality, green tech, and viticulture.
Year-round appeal — from Goodwood’s glamour to Lewes Bonfire’s tradition.
