Recently we attended 2018’s British Tourism & Travel Show at the NEC Birmingham.
This is one of the year’s must-go events because it brings together all the major players from the UK’s domestic tourism market – which makes up a whopping £100+ billion industry! Over 3,000 people were estimated to have been at the British Tourism & Travel Show on 21 – 22 March.
Manning our eye-catching stand right in the heart of the action were Head of Group Sales Adam Barr (present for his 10th straight year), Groups Manager Danny Hillson and Groups stalwart Stuart Lynd.
Indeed the best of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were on display at the trade event. It was a pleasure to meet with representatives from more than 200 leading visitor attractions, venues, destinations, hotels, transport providers, associations, tour operators and marketing organisations located throughout Britain and the Emerald Isle.
During our two days at the British Tourism & Travel Show there was a lot of interest from attendees about Ticketmaster Groups, and we were excited to promote our great range of events: from the best theatre and musicals, to family-friendly favourites like Cirque du Soleil: OVO and Nito Circus and great sporting events like Muller Anniversary Games and Chestertons Polo in the Park. So we can say without a doubt that this event was well worth attending. Plenty of promising leads were generated and we look forward to coming back in 2019.
But until then, we have another major exhibition to visit in 2018. Our next big show is the Group Leisure & Tourism Show which lands at the NEC Birmingham on 11 October. If you’re there, we hope you’ll drop by and say hello!
