Following last month’s Britain & Ireland Marketplace, Visit Dorset was delighted to host a group of key Dutch travel trade buyers on a familiarisation trip to showcase the best of our county.

The group enjoyed a diverse itinerary, taking in Gold Hill, Corfe Castle, Dorchester and Lyme Regis, alongside visits to Athelhampton House, The Blue Pool and Poole Museum. To highlight our local food & drink scene, the group also toured Hall & Woodhouse Brewery and enjoyed hospitality at The Old Granary, Wareham.

The group stayed overnight at the multi-award-winning Marsham Court Hotel. These trips help secure Dorset’s place in international tour programmes and we would like to thank all the members involved for providing such an exceptional welcome to one of Dorset’s most valuable inbound markets.
