Salisbury to host new social travel conference

In this episode we speak to brothers Alex and Adrien Grosjean, young entrepreneurs who have recently acquired The Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly. We discussed the reasons why Manchester’s visitor market is booming, and their decision to invest in this area, why they see extended-stay accommodation as a major opportunity in what is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, how they plan to enhance their portfolio of hotels, and their advice for the next generation of hospitality disruptors.

A new conference called Social Travel Britain 2015, for travel and tourism businesses and their communications teams, will take place in Salisbury from April 17-19 next year. 

The conference, organised by Travel Perspective,  will feature the first UK Social Travel Awards recognising the best digital innovations and social media campaigns in British tourism over the last 12 months.

The new event aims to showcase the best initiatives in digital marketing and social media and address the key issues that are shaping Britain’s digital marketing future. The event will also feature workshops, industry debates and sector knowledge sharing between delegates.

Mark Frary, conference organiser from Travel Perspective, said: “The requirements of successful tourism marketing are unrecognisable from even a few years ago. For many tourist boards and tourism marketers it is also difficult to distinguish between the great opportunities the sharing revolution offers, and the pitfalls.

“Social Travel Britain will bring together the best brains in destination and attraction marketing, with the bloggers and digital innovators who have played integral roles in recent successful campaigns.

David Andrews, CEO for VisitWiltshire says; “Wiltshire has been a special place to visit for a very long time, so we’re delighted that Travel Perspective has chosen to bring this important conference to Salisbury.”
