Join us to hear the latest industry updates and Association activities from our Chairman and CEO. Our guest speaker, Seren Welch, will share her insights on the latest trends in screen tourism and examine its future in the UK.
The increase in film and streaming channel content is influencing how the viewer sees a destination, where the jump from ‘view’ to ‘desire to go’ is almost instantaneous. Expedia, Booking.com, Forbes and Amex are just a few flagging screen tourism as a top trend for 2023; now Netflix are testing the waters, recently trialling tours in Paris, London and Madrid, based on successful content and in-depth audience profiling. Is the UK ahead of the game, or is it being left behind?
VENUE
Where else can you hold a business meeting among the very timbers where legendary Admirals have planned historic battles? Say your wedding vows under sails that have witnessed timeless stories of love and loyalty across the world’s oceans? Or celebrate special occasions in rooms where illustrious heroes have rejoiced in their greatest victories?
Set among 400 years of maritime history, Kent’s Historic Dockyard Chatham provides an iconic backdrop with a variety of unique venue hire spaces for all events.
Complete with spectacular, breath-taking architecture, the historic venues are well equipped with modern facilities. The flexible spaces can be transformed for all occasions, ranging from large gala dinners and awards ceremonies, to intimate private dining or bespoke product launches.
Events held at the Dockyard also help towards the preservation of the 80-acre historic estate for the benefit of visitors now and in the future.
