England targets North American Meeting Planners with new Website and Great Value Offers

meetEnglandEngland's business events industry is tempting North American meeting planners and corporate decision makers with recession busting offers and a new inspirational website.

With great value offers from Shakespeare Country, to Royal Windsor, London, Leeds and Chester, as well as an advantageous exchange rate and a newly revamped website.

MeetEngland claims that it has never been easier or more cost effective for North American businesses to bring their meeting or event across the pond.

Launched this month, www.MeetEngland.com not only gives users increased functionality; an enhanced venue finder and new sections on corporate hospitality and incentive information but also introduces a new section for unique ideas and special value offers.

Simon Gidman, who joined VisitEngland in December 2008 after positions at both Visit London and VisitBritain, said that he is definitely seeing a shift in focus since the credit crunch resulting in some great value offers across the country.

'The pound's value against the Euro has fallen by about 20 per cent in the past year, with a similar decline against the US dollar. This in addition to some extremely tempting offers and discounts means that there really has never been a better time to book England.

'In England there's a venue to suit every requirement - no matter how large or small your business event is. Dynamic, historic, cosmopolitan - take a look around our towns and cities and discover the rich variety on offer,' finished Simon.
