The entire portfolio of Southport Conferences has become fully-accredited by the Meeting Industry Association’s conference and meetings industry standard, AIM.
The Southport Theatre and Convention Centre completed its assessment last week, joining Southport Conferences and the resort’s associated venues, including the Ramada Plaza, Vincent Hotel, Scarisbrick Hotel, The Royal Clifton Hotel and Spa, The Prince of Wales Hotel, Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa and Aintree Racecourse.
New council cabinet member for leisure and tourism in Sefton, Mike Booth, described the AIM achievement as “a major coup for Southport and all of its associated venues. The scheme is a widely recognised quality standard throughout the meetings and conference industry and, as such, Southport has put a lot of time and investment into implementing it destination-wide”.
Chief executive of the MIA, Jane Evans, added: “Southport is a destination that is really emerging on the meetings and events scene and continues to do so with the investment and commitment it is placing in its business tourism product.”
