No Ordinary Hospitality Management (NOHM) has renewed its Patron Membership with Destination Coventry, the region’s Destination Management Organisation (DMO).
Destination Coventry Patrons help to raise the profile of Coventry and the wider region to national and international audiences, positioning the area as a destination of choice and aiming to increase the value of tourism to the local economy in collaboration with the DMO.
Building on existing success
NOHM signed up as one of the first Destination Coventry Patrons over 12 months ago, and the group has since established partnerships with IXL Events Centre and Stoneleigh Abbey, adding to conference and events facilities it operates at St Mary’s Guildhall and Coombe Abbey Hotel.
After renewing its patron membership, first on the agenda is ensuring the four venues help to meet the demand for Christmas bookings.
Paul Jones, managing director of Destination Coventry, said the region is “spoilt for choice when it comes to booking Christmas parties this year,” with the four NOHM venues illustrating the high quality and variety of options on offer throughout Coventry and Warwickshire.
He said: “NOHM is an important ally in driving the region’s visitor economy, especially during the crucial festive period where they have a track record of success.”
Over 12,000 guests attended Christmas events at Coombe Abbey last year, with increases in room reservations, dinners, afternoon teas, Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve bookings making 2022 one of the most successful festive periods in the hotel’s history.
Kathy Nakra, director of sales at NOHM, added: “Destination Coventry is an incredibly important partner for us and it’s great to be uniting once again ahead of a huge year for the region.
“We have been spreading the word via our Christmas at Coombe brochure for several weeks now and we are already seeing strong demand for our corporate Christmas packages across our venue portfolio, which also includes IXL Events Centre, Stoneleigh Abbey and St Mary’s Guildhall.”
