Bournemouth is to become the home of the UK's new National Coastal Tourism Agency - the first of its kind in Europe.

It'll be designed and run by Bournemouth University's School of Tourism, in partnership with the council - thanks to a 2 million pound government grant.

It'll create 165 jobs in the town over the next three years - as well as researching ways to bring foreign visitors to other parts of the country.
