USING the Euro to boost tourism business in Kent is the subject of a half-day seminar being held at Ashford International Hotel this month.

Business Link Kent, the independent business advice agency for the county has brought together experts to focus on ways of making use of the growing use of the Euro in general circulation.

Events manager Carole Black said: "Whether or not the UK signs up for the single currency, this seminar will show businesses in the field of tourism how they can exploit the spending power of visitors from the eurozone."

The interactive seminar starts with breakfast at 8am on June 27 and will include workshop sessions on the potential for new tourism products, services and partnership arrangements.
