Two guides are being launched to promote Eastbourne as a top holiday destination.

Eastbourne Borough Council has developed guides that show different sides to the town.

The first, Eastbourne 2006, promotes the classic British seaside holiday while the second, Coast and Country, features the stunning scenery of the South Downs on the town's doorstep, including the famous chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and Seven Sisters Country Park.

Council tourism spokesman David Elkin said: "We are delighted with the brochure response so far.

"We strive to provide the best service possible to both visitors and group organisers, from a free accommodation booking service to publicity assistance to help promote your trips."

Both guides include information on more than 120 accommodation establishments in Eastbourne, from hotels to family-run guest houses.
