Are you market ready? Find out how to boost your international visitor business at our first ever regional workshop: Inbound Tourism Marketing Essentials.
In 2018, the UK received 37 million visits from international tourists, who spent nearly £23 billion. After London, the North West is the fastest growing tourism region in England, last year attracting over 3 million visits and £1.3 billion in spend.
This represents a significant opportunity for tourism businesses to grow their market share and enjoy the economic benefits these visitors bring to our shores.
The Inbound Tourism Marketing Essentials Workshop is designed to share the key insights and marketing essentials for businesses looking to explore opportunities, understand the trends or simply refresh their knowledge on how to target visitors and spend from key markets.
If you are a hotelier, guest house owner, visitor attraction, transport provider, tour guide, restaurant, bar or retailer looking to better understand the international market landscape, realise your product readiness, appeal to international visitors and target these through B2B and B2C channels, this workshop is an essential diary date.
