Group travel organisers from all over the UK were
invited to experience some of North Wales’ top attractions last week [6-10
April].
Hosted by Daish’s Holidays for Groups at their
seafront Llandudno Somerset Hotel, the four day familiarisation was arranged by
travel trade specialist company Steve Reed Tourism with expert guiding provided
by Wales Official Blue Badge Tourist Guide Rhian Wyn Jones.
Rhian entertained the group and even treated them to
an impromptu rendition of the Welsh National Anthem during her tour of Conwy
Castle.
The superb spring weather provided the backdrop to a
variety of attractions around North Wales.
Firstly, the group took in two of the most celebrated castles in Wales,
Conwy and Beaumaris Castles. The visits were supported by Cadw, the Welsh
government’s historic environment service.
The group also took in whisky tasting at the Aber Falls
Whisky Distillery. Here the attendees sampled a number of gins and whiskeys.
The scenic tour of North Wales and Anglesey continued with a short stop at a
village renowned for having the longest name in Wales and indeed Europe - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
As a complete contrast the tour planners next visited one of the
country’s top gardens – Bodnant Gardens in Conwy Valley. A scenic tour of the
world famous Llanberis Pass in Eryri [Snowdonia] next took the GTOS to the
Snowdon Mountain Railway. The group were thrilled to sample the majestic
scenery and enjoyed a pre-trip chat and refreshments before climbing on board
for their trip up Yr Wyddfa [Snowdon].
Some of the attendees also experienced the Great Orme which is located at
one end of Llandudno’s pristine seafront. From there it is possible to enjoy
views of the surrounding mountains and coastline.
‘We were very happy to host the travel organisers at the Somerset Hotel
in Llandudno’ says Martin Jenkins of Daish’s Holidays.
Each year we arrange a showcase event like this of one of our hotels
across the U|K and there the GTOS can experience our hospitality, excellent
food, entertainment and great service.’
There will be another Daish’s Holidays fam’ event later this year and it
will be at the Sandringham Hotel in Weston-super-Mare 19-22 September. Anyone
interested in attending this three night showcase should email steve@stevereedtourism.co.uk
