The Tourism Society announced that The Caravan Club is the latest organisation to join the Society as a corporate member in this, the 30th Anniversary year of the leading membership organisation for tourism professionals and the centenary year for Europe`s premier touring association.

The Caravan Club joins Visit London, Superbreak, Travel GBI and Artavia Advertising as corporate members of the Society. Brian Richardson, Executive Secretary of the Caravan Club stated: We are looking forward to taking an active role as a corporate member of the Tourism Society and we value its role as a representative of the key players in this important sector. Caravanning is the most popular `paid for` domestic holiday option accounting for 19% of all breaks taken, so we are keen to keep abreast of the issues which affect the industry and to forging mutually beneficial links with other members.

Alison Cryer FTS, Chairman of the Tourism Society said; This is very exciting as the Caravan Club are the second Corporate Member to join since my election in June. Part of the Tourism Society`s vision is indeed to attract more corporate and overseas members in order to expand and strengthen the membership.

The Society`s Annual Dinner will take place on 18th October 2007 at the House of Commons and we look forward to welcoming all corporate members to this prestigious event at which Christopher Rodrigues, Chairman of VisitBritain, will be speaking.
