Destination Herefordshire
Herefordshire will be showcased as a tourist treasure at an international fair in Birmingham next month.
Herefordshire Tourism will be represented at the two-day British Travel Trade Fair, at the NEC, on March 1 and 2, in a trade stall decorated entirely in green – to reflect the county’s picturesque landscape.
The annual event is an important opportunity to promote the county to the travel trade in a bid to secure more visitors.

Green English countryside – focusing on the county's award-winning 'Growing Green Tourism Business Awards' and 'Wildlife Weekend Breaks';
Gentle rolling landscapes - alive with activities for all ages;
Great hospitality - where people have time for their visitors;
Gourmet menus – highlighting the 'Flavours of Herefordshire Awards' and a new ‘Herefordshire Food Festival’;
Grapevines – thanks to the county's award-winning vineyards;
Golf – including the highest course in England;
Great festivals – such as the ‘Three Choirs Festival’, ‘Ledbury Poetry Festival’, ‘Hay Literature Festival’;
