It’s the third time VisitBritain has partnered with Sony Pictures Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios for the campaign, which aims to encourage 007 fans from across 60 countries to choose Britiain – the home of Bond – for a holiday.
As part of this year’s Bond is GREAT campaign, 007 fans will also have the chance to enter an exclusive competition at visitbritain.com/spectre to live the Bond lifestyle in Britain – the prize includes a chauffeur driven Aston Martin, private visit to Madame Tussauds and a stay at one of the exclusive Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotels.
