  • UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared By: Venessa Alexander UK Director
    UK Office July 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators Trailfinders – We spoke with Rachel Webb, Destination Manager for Florida at Trailfinders and were advised that the Trailfinders Product team and other non-customer facing departments continue to work from home. But I'm pleased to say that, in a step towards normality, their travel centres in England, Wales and Ireland have re-opened their doors to their clients again, with all the necessary precautions in place, and their 3 travel centres in Scotland were set to re-open again at the beginning of July. They have now taken the decision to cancel all US departures up to 1 Aug 20 and Rachel suspects more will be cancelled beyond this. The company strategy very much remains to encourage their clients to re-book rather than cancel and as they get more product on sale, they are seeing more success. They continue to be able to book flights out of range. However, there are still gaps in their programme if their contact has been furloughed so they are having trouble securing a contract. Their receptive partners are also facing similar difficulties securing rates and then having the resources available to load. While they’ve seen a lot of interest in Florida as a whole, much of the business is being driven to Orlando where much product is on sale to the end of 2021 or, in some cases, into 2022. Currently, there's not the same amount of product on sale as usual in St Pete/Clearwater so the numbers booking are much smaller.

  • Inspiring Through Adventure Conference Report
    Inspiring Through Adventure Conference Report Resources for Change Date Executive Summary This report was commissioned by Natural Resources Wales on behalf of the outdoor sector to document the points discussed at the Inspiring Through Adventure Conference. In February 2016, Natural Resources Wales, Sports Wales and Visit Wales organised a 2- day conference “Inspiring Through Adventure”, part of Wales “Year of Adventure” 2016. The conference was attended by 90 representatives from across the outdoor sector. The conference opened with presentations from Mari Stevens (Welsh Government) Sarah Powell (Sport Wales) and Dr Emyr Roberts (Natural Resources Wales), followed by an introduction to Sport England’s ‘Getting Active Outdoors’ research. On the second day, four key themes ran through the presentations and workshops, looking at how to inspire: lifelong participation in sport and physical outdoor activities an environmentally sustainable outdoor sector holistic training and development of volunteers, leaders, instructors and coaches. a cross-sector approach to partnership working. During the conference, attention was repeatedly given to the impetus likely to arise from the Well Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This Act has seven key elements and these have been used in the discussion section of the report as a framework to present the findings. Recommendations: The comments gathered in the workshops are outlined in the report. The facilitators have then used them to produce a set of recommendations for the outdoor sector and other key stakeholders. The recommendations have been split into two sections; actions that can be carried out in the next 12 months and those that could be worked towards in future.
