Are you game? Visit Yorkshire South at stand B340 and prove it!
13 January
Yorkshire South Tourism (YST), winner of the ‘UK Best Destination’ at Confex for the past two years, is returning to this year’s show with a recession-defying ‘Fun & Games’ theme which highlights the incredible incentive products available in the region.
YST will be starting the new decade with a burst of positivity. After all, the thing that makes the meetings and events industry so innovative and exciting is an injection of fun into every event. And with an incentive product that includes bungee jumping, night golf, chocolate tasting and duck herding we think there’s plenty of fun to be had in Yorkshire South.
Visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to sample a selection of game themed incentives for themselves. All this play has a serious side too: YST will also be giving buyers a range of exclusive added value incentive and travel offers that they can take advantage of during 2010. This forms part of a series of buyer events across all of the Yorkshire stands at the show.
Emma France, Business Tourism Manager for YST, says: 'Following our second ‘Best UK Destination’ win at last year’s show the pressure is really on to impress for 2010. But we’re confident that we’ll be able to wow buyers with our incentive offerings, world-class venues and competitive prices.'
This year ‘Team YST’ includes representatives from Magna, Sheffield International Venues, Conference 21 at Sheffield Hallam University, East Midlands Trains and Kenwood Hall.
2009 was another incredible year for the region as it retained the World Snooker Championships for another five years as well as securing the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show.
Encompassing Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, Yorkshire South is an ideal location for any type of event: from a small meeting to a 12,000 capacity concert. With over 200 conference venues, 12,000 bedrooms, great team-building opportunities, a dedicated and professional conference team and award-winning unique venues, this sub-region enjoys one of the strongest conference infrastructures in the North of England.
Yorkshire South will be working in partnership with Welcome to Yorkshire at International Confex with a series of themed events taking place across the 3 days.
Yorkshire South Tourism will be on stand B340 at International Confex.
