Shakespeare country attracts thousands of tourists each year - and
buzzing Birmingham is its capital.
Besides being a vibrant city, it has also
become a conference centre with the Conservative Party Conference
being held in the heart of Birmingham in 2008.
The ultra modern International
Convention Centre which has 11 conference halls seats from 30 to
3000 people.
Hotel accommodation is plentiful and there is plenty to see and
do - the city boasts more miles of canal
than Venice and it has certainly made the most of them with
attractive waterside cafes and bars.
