Conference Plymouth has secured a deal with First Great Western to offer reduced rates for conference delegates as the city of Plymouth is added to First Great Western’s Conference Fares destinations.
Conference Plymouth hopes the recent deal with First Great Western will be a key link to attract national conferences to the city.
“When we host a national conference in the city it is essential that we not only have good transport links from London and other major cities into Plymouth, but that we can offer the transport at an attractive price,” says Chair of Conference Plymouth, Jon Morcom. “Extras like discounted rail travel and a direct ’no change’ rail link can often clinch the deal from our competitor cities, so we are pleased to have Great Western onboard.”
Account Manager at First Great Western David Gardner says: “Our line to Plymouth from Paddington offers passengers easy access from the capital or Reading Station to stations across the south west.”
In addition to discounted rail transport, Conference Plymouth recently launched a ’Familiarisation Programme’ aimed at giving conference bookers an opportunity to experience the city. Bookers will be able to visit the area and see what Plymouth can offer first hand by visiting venues, accommodation and city tourist spots.
