Tourism
chiefs from Worcestershire say it’s now full steam ahead for a super new
initiative to help attract groups to this beautiful part of England, 17th
and 18th February 2019.
The Severn
Valley Railway and the Mercure Heath Hotel Bewdley have coupled together to
offer tour planners from around the country a special dream ticket. And well
known Worcester coach and tour operator, Elgar Coaches, will be adding their
wheels to this celebration of transport.
Working with
UK group travel specialists Steve Reed Tourism, a superb timetable of
activities is scheduled for coach and tour operators and group travel
organisers. On Sunday 17th February, the group of VIP tour planners
– all potential bookers – will enjoy a relaxing tour of the some of the top
tourist sights of the area. After that they’ll take in a ‘welcome to the Severn
Valley’ dinner at the Mercure Heath Hotel in Bewdley.
On the Monday
18 February, the group will gather at Kidderminster Railway station for the
start of a delightful railway journey down the length of the Severn Valley with
stops and afternoon teas along the way. Elgar Coaches will link with the train
to provide coach transport for the guests on that day.
Victoria
Carman is the Marketing Manager for the Severn Valley Railway:
‘We’re so
pleased to be working with our local tourism partners including the Mercure Heath
Hotel Bewdley and Elgar Coaches to provide what will be a memorable experience
for the travel trade.
‘There’s no
better platform from which to attract new group bookings than to showcase your
group offer in this way,’ says Victoria.

overnight on the Sunday evening. Places are subject to availability and
