EXHIBITOR
INFORMATION
Background
Since moving to Alexandra Palace in 2004, more suppliers have
chosen to exhibit at Excursions and have come from all over
the country including Yorkshire, Manchester and the Midlands
as well as East Anglia, London and the South East. As well
as looking after exhibitors, the organisers of Excursions
work hard to ensure that visitors to the show have an enjoyable
and useful day.
Excursions
2008 proved to be a great success with record numbers of both
visitors and exhibitors.
Seven
coaches provided free travel to the show for visitors. Each
year there is a free shuttle coach from the nearest railway
and Underground stations with Excursions staff waiting on
the platforms to greet visitors and guide them to the coach.
Once inside, visitors to Excursions 2008 were all offered
a free cup of tea, piece of cake, handmade choclate - and
a jam sandwich!
Satisfaction
level amongst visitors has been maintained over the past few
years with between 97% and 99% of visitors rating Excursions
as 'worthwhile' or 'very worthwhile' between 2004 and 2007.
