Kent achieved a unique environmentally prompted visitor attraction. The spirit of a Lapland Christmas daytrip all the way to the Bedgebury Forest in Goudhurst, Kent for five weeks from 24 November 2007 is being brought by Lapland UK, working with the Forestry Commission. Dipping those nasty carbon footprints, a legitimate substitute to a magical Christmas day trip will be provided to families, expects Lapland UK.
Mike Battle, creator, said, "Bringing a high quality Christmas experience to this country has been my dream since visiting Lapland with my wife and our four boys in 2002". "But what galvanised me into action were the potential environmental benefits. Until Lapland UK the only option for a truly magical Christmas experience for young families was an arduous trip flying to Lapland and back in one day (depositing 2 tonnes of carbon)".
Father Christmas, real reindeer, husky dogs, Raymond Briggs' 'The Snowman', Hollywood snow and ice special effects, and rocking horse makers to the Queen (toy factory) will all be associated with this exclusive experience set deep in the 2,000 acre Bedgebury Forest in Kent. A family will require about four hours experiencing this ambitious attraction. This country will also see the best ever Christmas adventure.
Lapland UK will facilitate the visitors of timely entry tickets, ascertaining that everyone enjoys their daytrip without a sense of congestion and eliminating lengthy queues. This would be a great step towards carbon offsetting and encouraging green tourism in Lapland, UK.
