THIS weekend sees the return of the popular Daily Echo Holiday Show.

The annual show opens its doors tomorrow from 10am until 4pm at Bournemouth’s beautiful Edwardian Miramar Hotel on the seafront.

The event, which is free of charge, is all about bringing people and holidays together, enabling you to discuss your next holiday in a relaxed environment. This will be the perfect opportunity to have a face to face conversation with local holiday providers rather than spending hours searching through websites.

Free goody bags will be handed out to the first 300 visitors which include a Daily Echo and a Dorset Book (worth £12).

A wide range of travel experts will be in attendance including Southampton Cruise Concierge, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Bournemouth Airport, Holidaze, Lucketts Travel and Prestige Holidays.

Angela Boyer, the Echo’s sales and events manager, said: “Following on from the success of last year’s event, the Daily Echo Holiday Show is an ideal opportunity to meet holiday providers on a face to face basis rather than having to trawl the internet to source your getaway. Visitors can chat to representatives from a variety of holiday companies in a relaxed atmosphere in the beautiful Miramar Hotel. We have a good selection of companies attending with everything from a luxury cruise to a coach holiday covered. This is a really popular event not to be missed."

Plenty of parking is available at the Miramar Hotel overlooking the sea on the East Cliff.
