AVIEMORE TRADE SHOW
25th-27th April 2010

Hello from the Highlands of Scotland!
Your organisation, and your members, may be interested to learn about the fourth Aviemore Trade Show, scheduled to take
place in Aviemore, Highlands, Scotland in Spring 2010.
The Aviemore Trade Show is a three-day trade only event, for buyers, the world over, to meet Scottish makers in the art,
craft and gift sectors. It is the only show which guarantees the buyer that everything they see is made in Scotland. Unlike
other trade shows which include goods produced overseas.
Preparations are gaining momentum for the fourth show, which will again be located in the Osprey Arena at the MacDonald
Aviemore Highland Resort, Scotland. It is ideally timed, after the Easter rush, from the 25th to the 27th April, for buyers
to forward plan for the summer and onwards.
In previous years, the show has served as the showcase for many new businesses, and at the 2009 show, despite the economic
climate, twenty new businesses were launched.
In the meantime, we hope you will be able to put details of the Aviemore show on your website, for those members who
have retail outlets, and who may be planning a Spring trip to the Highlands.
Please note that there is a visitor/buyer section on the show website,
together with accommodation details, as well as events in the events where buyers and sellers can get to know each other.
And shortly, more details of specially negotiated rates in further hotels will be published. This is in demand from buyers
from the USA, who wish to incorporate a holiday either before or after the show, plus some buyer groups from the USA are advising
us that they are planning vendor tours, and welcome hotel recommendations.
We hope this is of interest to your organisation - if you would like further information please do not hesitate to contact
myself or show organiser, Gail Steele.
A warm Highland welcome awaits you!
With kind regards,
Jackie
on behalf of the Aviemore Trade Show
