The film and the travel industries have combined to help put Yorkshire’s Maritime City on the tourism map.
Hull in
East Yorkshire has always been of great interest to groups and the production
of a special ‘coach road-trip movie’ will help the city destination to
reinforce its appeal to this important tourism market.

Working
with UK travel trade specialists Steve Reed Tourism Ltd of Hampshire in
conjunction with Flintshire based Eastwood Media, the finished film is now
being distributed to coach and tour operators around the country.
Organised
by Visit Hull with the support of local attractions, hotels, retailers and
group venues, the film is to be used to help tour planners put their tours
together. It works as a practical planning tool and a virtual FAM for the
travel trade. Local Tour Guide Paul Schofield featured in the film.
Many of
Hull’s attractions are included such as The Deep; the Maritime Museum; the
Marina; the Old Town and its heritage pubs; Trinity Square; Hepworth’s Arcade; the
William Wilberforce Museum and Humber Street – the emerging hospitality
area.
‘The short
film is the perfect way for coach operators and GTOS to put their tours,
holidays and excursions together,’ says Tina Mott of Visit Hull.
‘This has
been made possible through the support and cooperation of many local tourism
businesses and we are very grateful to them. Many of the elements of Hull’s
tourism offer have been included in the film and this also includes the
progress of the exciting Yorkshire’s Maritime City project which seeks to
preserve four historic maritime sites and two heritage ships.’
Steve Reed
Tourism have pioneered this new service for the travel trade and already
film-shorts have been produced – usually featuring Steve as a well-known face
in the tourism scene. The areas they cover include Porthcawl and Bridgend
County; Port Sunlight Village; Plymouth; Southern Wales and now Hull. Further
films have just been shot in Northwest England and in the English Riviera.
