Boasting one of the most pleasant and temperate year-round climates of any British region, the south west of England is one of the country's top destinations for business and leisure travellers alike.

In addition to its remarkable climate, this part of England offers several other notable benefits to its residents as well as visitors. Despite being largely rural, the south western county of Dorset hosts several of England's major cities, with Plymouth, Bournemouth, Swindon and Bristol being home to, collectively, more than ten million inhabitants. The region's proximity to London is also a major boon to commerce, with the M4 motorway allowing rapid and convenient access to and from the nation's capital in a few hours.
The region is also well-served by rail services, with the Great Western Main Line connecting London to Plymouth, Exeter, and Penzance via Bristol. Coastal towns such as Southampton and Salisbury are linked via the Wessex Main Line, while the southern Dorset coast is connected by the frequent and reliable services run by the Heart Of Wessex train line. Many of the most-visited south west venues are located along these major lines of communication, with Bristol in particular accounting for many of the area's best exhibition and conference spaces.

In tandem with superb meeting facilities, the south west provides its visitors with some of the best quality accommodation, including some of England's most highly-regarded hotels and resorts. The city of Bath, itself an ancient spa town, is a frequent host of major events, including its annual garden festival as well as corporate and political conventions. The aerospace industry, one of the south west's biggest employers, also utilises the area's superb exhibition facilities on a regular basis, attracting business customers from around the globe.
In addition to being a major hub of commercial and business activities, south west England is also home one of the country's premier tourist industries, drawing visitors from all over Britain and beyond. The lure of England's south west peninsula attracts people from all walks of life and all parts of the UK. The surfer communities of Cornish coastal towns such as Newquay in particular have become as renowned for their leisure and entertainment facilities as their waves, with something to please visitors of all ages.

With local prosperity extending throughout the area, the entire peninsula has become dotted with some of the most vibrant towns and villages to be found anywhere in southern England and a whole host of south west venues have developed in response. These great facilities provide unbeatable business and leisure opportunities for the region's thriving commercial and tourist industries, as well as the area's own diverse communities.
While the importance of tourist and business visitors to the local economy should not be underestimated, the region's native inhabitants are renowned for their own laid-back vibe and a willingness to party. For those who live in the area who may be planning a celebratory event such as a wedding or large-scale birthday bash, the south west's hospitality industry is second to none. Indeed, the same south west venues that offer great service to the area's visitors means that a denizen of the region who is planning an event is faced with an almost embarrassment of riches from which to choose.
