MORE than 4,000 customers have visited Darlington's tourism website to look for accommodation since it was launched last year.

The site - www.visitdarlington.net - has had 37,687 visitors in its first year.

It was launched with eight main menu options. During the past year eight more have been added.

Glenys Dodds, the borough council's tourist information centre supervisor, said: "During the coming year we will be adding more information to the activities database and extending the range of information available."
