Abrams Hosts Travel Expo at Tanglewood09:12AM / Thursday, September 06, 2007
Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Lenox, has teamed with radio-show travel expert Stephanie Abrams to extend the season for visitors and residents of Berkshire County.
The Stephanie Abrams Travel Expo at Tanglewood will take place Sept. 14 and 15 from 10 to 4, rain or shine, in the Hawthorne Tent and is free to the public, including free parking at the main gate.
Tanglewood is two hours drive from Boston and 2 1/2 hours from New York City.
The two-day consumer travel show, to which travel professionals and group planners have been invited, will feature a variety of domestic and global tour operators, destinations, hotels, resorts and cruise lines invited by Abrams to present their offerings for travelers, with Tanglewood providing the backdrop. Prizes will be will be awarded, including a choice of stays at Loews Hotels’ Universal Orlando Resorts Portofino Bay and Hard Rock Hotel Royal Pacific Resort, Skyroll Luggage, a one-year membership in Air Ambulance Card and other travel prizes.
In addition, free musical performances will take place on Saturday. Performers include the concert pianist Ana Maria Trenchi De Bottazzi and award-winning students from the Germaine Pinault School of Music in Manhasset, N.Y.
Kim Noltemy, director of sales and marketing for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, said, "Tanglewood is one of the great summer vacation destinations. We thought it would be wonderful to have a travel expo on site after the season concludes so we can get both travel planners and consumers thinking about their plans for next summer. In many cases, travelers who come to the Berkshires in the fall have not attended concerts at Tanglewood during the summer.
"The travel expo is a good way to have them experience the beauty of Tanglewood and give them the vacation planning information they need. Also, it is an opportunity to collaborate with our colleagues in the Berkshires and promote the destination."
When asked about the collaboration, Noltemy said Abrams "is a travel industry leader and a huge advocate of the Berkshires. With her love and knowledge of the area and her national radio and television presence, she is the perfect person to create a successful event."
In planning for the event, Abrams said, "I've invited suppliers in the travel industry in keeping with my mission of introducing travelers to destinations, hotels, resorts, cruise lines that I believe deliver the quality of experience that is inspiring, uplifting, enhancing and enriching and from which travelers return home knowing they are somehow better people than when they left home. The exhibitors at the Stephanie Abrams Travel Expo fit that mold."
Exhibitors include Canard Cruise Line, Norwegian Coastal Voyage, Avalon Waterways, Globus Family of Brands, Dooley Vacations of Ireland, Homeric Tours, Central Holidays, Saxony Germany Tourism, North of Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, Berkshire Visitors Bureau, Cranwell Resort, Eastover Resrot, Jiminy Peak, Crowne Plaza of Pittsfield, Red Lion Inn and Porches. As part of the exhibit festivities, "Traveling Feet," a nationally syndicated radio show on which Abrams appears weekly as its travel expert, will broadcast live from the Hawthorne Tent.
Abrams, rated one of the 100 most powerful women in travel by Travel Agent Magazine, hosts the nationally syndicated radio show, "Travel with Stephanie Abrams," is heard weekly on the Business Talk Radio Network on Sundays and hosts the monthly television travel special "JetSet411." Abrams’ award-winning Web site, www.sabrams.com, provides travel information, travel tips and details on the expo at Tanglewood. |
