Train Chartering has launched 'You're A Star' incentive travel between Paris, Brussels and London, building on its group travel and event planning expertise. The first event was a staff away-day for a corporate client, featuring private Eurostar carriages, a private riverboat and lunch up the Eiffel Tower.

Private carriages are ideal for smaller groups for which a complete chartered train is inappropriate. We still offer our full project and guest management services as well as a range of catering and entertainment options. Event planning in Paris and Brussels is a natural extension of our expertise.

Train Chartering has arranged the use of a private carriage on Eurostar, lunch up the Eiffel Tower, a privately chartered riverboat on the Seine and a visit to Montmartre. The day is designed to reward a successful business team from Proctor & Gamble, offering an escorted programme making the most of Paris.

Train Chartering is witnessing growing interest in its escorted group travel in private carriages, whether on national railways or international trains such as Eurostar.

Event planning in Brussels and Paris has now been added to the growing range of services provided by Train Chartering that involve quality rail travel.

Train Chartering's Simon Pielow knows why group travel in private carriages is growing in popularity, "Private carriages are ideal for smaller groups for which a complete chartered train is inappropriate. We still offer our full project & guest management services as well as a range of catering & entertainment options. Event planning in Paris & Brussels is a natural extension of our expertise."

The group leader commented, "The day in Paris was memorable - not a moment to spare; a real introduction to Paris. Train Chartering was excellent and very organised, keeping us to schedule so we could see so many of the sights."

Train Chartering (www.trainchartering.com) is the pioneer of a coordinated approach to sourcing, theming and crewing special trains for a variety of corporate and leisure applications. This full service approach is enhanced by comprehensive guest management, including ground handling & transfer services.
