What is the Love Central Coast Tourism Widget?

Our customised Love Central Coast Tourism Widget is a small, embeddable content module that displays curated LoveCentralCoast.com content on an existing, external website.

The widget links website visitors back to relevant pages on the destination's official tourism website, LoveCentralCoast.com, helping them to plan their movements beyond a single event, attraction or accommodation and discover more things to see and do nearby.
