Visit Britain announces flagship travel trade Explore GB Virtual for 2021.
Explore GB Virtual, taking place from the 1 March to the 5 March 2021, will invite international buyers to connect online with travel trade suppliers from across the UK to do business and boost bookings.
Attendance is free with registrations set to open from mid-December.
Visit Britain Chief Executive Sally Balcombe said:
“Using a tried and tested online platform Explore GB Virtual will give travel industry suppliers and destinations from across the UK the chance to get their products and services in front of top global buyers and forge valuable business connections.
“As well as the opportunity to do business, this flagship global trade event will keep the UK front of mind globally as a leading destination for visitors, ultimately driving future bookings and boosting local economies.”
The five-day event is set to virtually connect international buyers from the UK’s largest and most valuable inbound visitor markets with countries such as Australia, China, France, Germany and the US due to attend and meet with travel industry suppliers and destinations across the country.
Hundreds of pre-scheduled one-to-one virtual business meetings will take place during the event. Delegates can virtually explore live exhibition booths with UK suppliers promoting their products and services. Buyers and international journalists can also attend webinars and networking events to boost their knowledge of the UK as a visitor destination.
The start of the event will also feature an online VisitBritain International Business Exchange (VIBE), which will allow UK suppliers to meet virtually with Visit Britain in-market experts.
Explore GB Virtual will accommodate all times zones with a scheduled programme for international buyers from both short and long haul destinations.
Explore GB Virtual follows VisitBritain’s successful inaugural Meet GB Virtual business event held in June this year.
