Under the project, set up by Visit Kent, the editors will be expected to host ‘journalists from around the world’writing travel feature features about Kent.
They’ll also be greeting foreign journalists during the London Olympics next year.

Visit Kent chief executive Sandra Matthews-Marsh said: ‘Talking to local journalists will really help them research their features and articles and give them a great insight into county. As far as I am aware, Kent is the first destination in the world to have its own dedicated team of Media Greeters.”
