The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) announced today that Riviera Travel, Britain’s largest overseas escorted tour operator and leading river cruise provider, will be the headline sponsor of the RHS Flower Show Cardiff, 15-17 April.

Riviera Travel and the RHS share similar values, encouraging visitors to get outside and enjoy the natural world whether it be on a horticultural adventure at RHS Flower Show Cardiff or travelling to a European or worldwide destination on one of Riviera’s tours or river cruises.

Nick Mattingley, head of RHS Shows, said: “This is the first time RHS Flower Show Cardiff has had a headline sponsor and we are very excited to have a trusted brand and award winning travel company Riviera Travel on board this year. Over the past 12 years the show which is run in partnership with Cardiff Council has become an established event in the Welsh and Horticultural Calendar, with last year’s show attracting a record number of visitors. With Riviera’s partnership let’s hope 2016 is another record-breaking year.”

Ben Hitchcock, Riviera’s marketing director, said: “We are delighted to sponsor RHS Flower Show Cardiff 2016, the first major event of the horticultural season, and a fabulous day out. At Riviera Travel we share the RHS values of excellence and are proud of this association.”
