National Memorial Arboretum Hosts Group Buyer Forum, Travel Trade Set Piece Welcomes Tour Operators and GTOS

The UK travel trade descended on one of the top attractions in the country for a special group booking event this week [22.10.18]

The National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire was the high quality venue for the latest Group Buyer Forum event arranged by group travel company Steve Reed Tourism Ltd from Hampshire  (Web: www.thenma.org.uk)

Attracting exhibitors from far and wide – for example, Visit Exeter from Devon and River Escapes from Newcastle upon Tyne were typical of the great spread – the forty plus attractions, destinations and hotels met GTOS and coach and tour operators face to face in a business-like setting.

The venue was the brand new Aspects conference facility in the NMA and the buyers and sellers certainly gave the site the thumbs up. Blue Badge Guide Roger Bailey was involved in the event. (Web: www.tourist-guides.net/bluebadgecov/)

Classic Lodges Hotels hosted some of the buyers the night before at their flagship Charingworth manor Hotel in the Cotswolds. (Web: www.classiclodges.co.uk/)

‘We were so pleased to work with the National Memorial Arboretum with regard to our Group Buyer Forum,’ says Steve Reed.

‘Lots of enquiries, positive leads and real bookings were achieved on the day.’

‘Although the weather was very kind to us and the parkland and gardens looked truly sublime, the new Aspects facility at the NMA helped make the event a big success.’

The next group booking event is the Group Buyer Forum at Painshill Park in Surrey on Monday 29th April. Tour planners or exhibitors wishing to attend should email steve@stevereedtourism.co.uk the event includes tours of Painshill Park as well as a River Thames cruise
