US Agents on tour in South West England

A group of 10 VIP travel agents from the US are "on tour" in South West England this week. The group who have all recently qualified as South West England Specialist travel agents were selected to attend the trip following successful completion of a South West England educational training programme which included attending 2 online seminars, and passing an exam.

The agents arrive at Bristol airport off the Continental flight from New York tomorrow morning 6 February, and start their familiarisation of the region in Bristol with a City Sightseeing bus tour, and a visit to Brunel's ss Great Britain. The tour continues until Sunday taking in Bath, Cheltenham, and the Cotswolds, and will show the agents some of the best tourism product the region has to offer.

Judy Graydon, US Marketing Executive for Destination Bristol who is running the campaign said, "There is no better way to promote the region to our Specialist agents than by showing them the fabulous product we have to offer their clients. We have already had some really positive comments about the itinerary, and the agents are all really looking forward to the trip".
