We are pleased to invite our buyer members to a virtual Destination update hosted by Visit Jersey on Thursday 2 July 2026.
Welcome to Jersey – the tiny island overflowing with natural beauty, rich heritage and over 500 places to eat and drink.
Nine miles long, five miles wide – and genuinely surprising. Closer to France than England, Jersey has a character shaped by both: British ease, French flair, and an independent spirit that makes it unlike anywhere else. The island packs in a remarkable amount, with 250,000 years of human history. A destination shaped by the rhythm of the tides, with a food scene rooted in locally caught seafood, island-grown produce and artisan makers. Easily accessible via direct flights from more than 20 UK and European airports, as well as ferry connections from Poole, Portsmouth, St Malo, Granville and Carteret, it offers strong year-round appeal for FIT, group and special-interest travel.
Members will have the chance to hear from local suppliers and ask questions during a Q&A session.

- Trudie Trox-Hairon, Bronze Badge Tourist Guide, Jersey Walk Adventures
Enter a world where the ocean disappears to the horizon, and we are all visitors. Explore rock pools on a guided walk into Europe’s largest rocky inter-tidal zone. Walks to Seymour Tower are also called “moonwalks”. Discover Jersey’s wilderness with local guides who have explored this wonderful coast for many years.Though the landscape might look barren, it’s teeming with marine life. It is an internationally recognised Ramsar Wetlands site – an aquatic version of the Jersey National Park. Revel in the stillness and expanse of a place covered by some of the highest tides in the world. Here, marine life must survive the extremes of water pressure and be stranded high and dry out of the ocean. Only when the ocean disappears to the horizon can our walks begin.
