Weymouth was established by George III as a fashionable resort and since the 18th Century the area has been renowned as a holiday centre. Weymouth provides the more classic seaside leisure and tourist related facilities, whilst visitors can visit nearby Portland for informal, specialist diving and sailing pursuits – the new seven million pound National Sailing Academy is going strong and was the venue for the sailing Olympics in 2012 – this exposure will bring visitors for years to come. Major International Sailing Events now include Sail for Gold and the new European Sailing Cup. Inland, the attractions of Dorset including ‘ Hardy Country ‘ bring people back to this region year after year. Weymouth attracts in excess of 2.5 million tourists each year and in recent years the area has experienced an injection of hundreds of millions of pounds on various projects including a new 600 berth marina; a new road linking the A35 to Weymouth; Osprey Quay at Portland: the conversion of the navy quarters to private housing (500 plus units) and commercial development. The Weymouth and Portland Council promote many festivals throughout the year including the Seafood Festival The International Military and Veterans Festival and dozens of other events centred around the Harbour, Beach and Pavilion.
