A top Norfolk seaside resort is adding a touch of Hollywood to its holidays through a pioneering series of mini movies being screened on-line.
The 70-second short films provide vivid video snapshots of the people, places, activities and events in the main town and surrounding areas.
Although Great Yarmouth remains one of the UK’s most popular and enduring destinations, particularly for people from the Midlands and London, there is a concerted campaign to attract even more trippers, from different areas and backgrounds – and to dispel any misconceptions about the resort.
Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area Limited is behind the drive, and has put £45,000 towards making a dozen varied films along with further funds to promote them online.

The first illuminations or decorative lighting features along Marine Parade were installed in 1987 as part of a £250,000 project initiated by the Great Yarmouth Publicity Association.
The scheme nearly crumpled at the last minute when the existing column were deemed inadequate to support the new lighting features. After some hard negotiations the Borough Council agreed to pay for new columns at a cost of £70,000.
The brand new schemed was eventually switch on in May 1987 amidst a blaze of glory and excitement. Reynolds Coaches even started doing evening Illuminations tours.
The new scheme was intended to have a 10 year life but actually stayed in place for 20 years when new columns where introduced in 2007 as part of the £16m INTEGREAT project.
