ENJOY this medieval city for 'Britain's Best View,' its cathedral, museums, historic houses and great range of shops; linger at a caf or a pub or take in a show or a concert - Salisbury has a great deal to offer.
Its no wonder that Salisbury was recently voted by the Observer and Guardian readers' travel awards the seventh favourite city in the UK - seven places higher than last year and overtaking southwest neighbour Bath.
Salisbury was also the highest placed city from southern England, with only Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, York, Belfast and Durham placed higher.
This latest success follows hot-on-the-heels of the Salisbury Tourist Information Centre being judged the best in England.
Easily accessible from London and from both air and sea ports, Salisbury is located at the hub of a fast network of motorway and rail links.
Here you will find a surprising range of corporate facilities and hospitality to suit all tastes and needs, located in a region of contrast and diversity.
If you're looking to find a venue for a conference or meeting that is sited in an historic house, tourist attraction, racecourse, luxury hotel or concert hall, then look no further.
The corporate market is growing in importance to the local economy.
The British Association of Conference Destinations has undertaken research that shows that the overall value of the conference market is estimated at over £7.3 billion per year.
With its award winning services and attractions Salisbury has already established its credentials in the tourism sector; it is this high standard of service delivery that is attracting the corporate sector.
The ability to service the demands of the business sector, using the tourism infrastructure, by offering suitable venues, accommodation, activities and entertainment means that Salisbury is the ideal location for corporate events.
Many of the tourist attractions and leisure services are already offering team-building packages and corporate entertainment, such as laser clay shooting, karting, polo, and off road 4 x 4 driving.
The recognition of the needs of the corporate sector is the driving force behind Salisbury's developing business and conference orientation.
Salisbury is able to offer friendly, customer-focused, venues and hospitality in an area that boasts history, culture and scenery.
