TOURISM hot-spots in the North East will be highlighted at one of the country's biggest attractions this week in a bid to promote the region as an ideal short break destination.

Tourism promotors from regeneration agency One NorthEast will take a roadshow to Legoland, in Windsor, on Friday.

The event is the last in a series of roadshows that have helped raise the profile of the region's short break potential to more than 100 group travel contacts.

Denise Wigham, travel trade co-ordinator, said: "This final roadshow is another fantastic opportunity to highlight the region's many attractions and events, superb accommodation and breathtaking scenery."
