Based at The Imperial Hotel Blackpool from 23-25 November, CTA Winter Networking generated new business for members alongside special fam trips to develop product.

“Strong attendance from operators and wholesalers has driven excellent participation from high-quality suppliers,” said CTA Chair, Robert Shaw. “CTA Operators were delighted with the opportunities to create new trips and tours. For suppliers, CTA Winter Networking was a demonstration of the commercial value of attending our industry’s most important business generation events.”

The weekend included an Afternoon Tea experience at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom, plus visits to High Jinx circus, Madame Tussauds Blackpool, and Sea Life Blackpool Aquarium – all courtesy of Merlin Entertainments. Delegates also visited the National Trust’s Rufford Old Hall and Visit Blackpool’s Christmas by the Sea festive event.

Event sponsors included Irish Ferries, Merlin Entertainments, CN Live Productions, and Visit Blackpool. Bretherton’s Gold Line Tours provided transport for the Fam trip.
