TOURISM businesses can find out how to use the euro to boost trade by attending a seminar in Ashford International Hotel next month. The euro seminar will be held on June 27, starting at 8am. A similar event is being held at the Gatwick Hilton on June 26.

They will show how tourism can exploit the spending power of eurozone visitors and boost their businesses whether or not the United Kingdom joins the single currency. The seminars will include workshop sessions on the potential for new tourism products, services and partnership arrangements.

The seminars will focus on exciting new ways of tapping into the growing circulation and tendering of the euro. Both are organised by the Charlemagne Group on behalf of the South East Euro Awareness Forum (SEEAF), the Treasury and Business Link Kent. The cost is £35.00 plus Vat, to include breakfast and full documentation. More details on 01323 434710.
