the opportunity to discuss business face to face with ERBID including a popular
‘Meet the Buyers’ event.

attractions with opportunities to explore and experience Torquay, Cockington,
Babbacombe, Paignton and/or Brixham, with local transfers provided.

help coach and tour planners to put their future touring plans together.

Russell of the Sutton Coldfield Veasey Probus Club attended the last showcase:
‘From beginning to end it was superb, with plenty of food for thought
for organising a group visit. We found the Meet the Buyer event very
useful and we are ploughing our way through all the literature and ideas we
acquired during our visit, whilst they are still fresh in our memory,’ says
Pam.
