Norfolk Tourism’s Travel Trade Manual 2010, the 11th edition of the essential guide to group travel in the county, was launched on November 4 at Potters Leisure Resort, the UK’s first five star Holiday Village.

The travel trade manual, which is packed with information on places to visit and stay, meal stops, guided tours and special events, is mailed to 8,000 contacts. Group buyers can also pick up a copy and meet the Norfolk Tourism team at the Excursions exhibition on 16 January 2010 at Alexandra Palace in London.

Potters Leisure Resort, with its new Zest Rooms that cater for conferences and events with up to 300 delegates, along with the International Arena which hosts January’s BBC televised World Indoor Bowls Championships and has also welcomed Sky TV's Premier League Snooker Championship and the European Karate Convention, is just one of many exciting ideas for groups.

The travel trade manual provides both essential information for coach operates and organisers and ideas for year round visits to the county. Some of these include Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, home of BBC Springwatch and the Norfolk & Norwich Festival in spring, plus Cromer Carnival and the Sandringham Flower Show in summer. Followed by Great Yarmouth’s Maritime Festival and the EDP Bidwells Norfolk Food Festival in September, as well as Thursford’s famous Christmas Spectacular in November and December, and the fabulous winter Festival of Swans at Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Welney.
