Huge privilege to be leading a large delegation of British tourism businesses and representatives to Australia next month. Our goal? To build on the fantastic success of welcoming some 1.2 million visitors from Australia to the UK, who stay longer across all the nations and spend more than the average international visitor. Thank you Australia and we hope to see more of you soon!👇
NEWS: 📰 We're excited to be gearing up to host our first #trade mission to #Australia since 2016, led by our Chairman Nick de Bois CBE. The five-day #trade mission, taking place from 9-to-13 September in #Sydney, #Melbourne and #Brisbane, will see dozens of #British travel trade and industry suppliers meet with top buyers from #Australia to do business. Speaking ahead of the #trade event, our Chairman said: “I am delighted to be leading VisitBritain’s first trade mission to #Australia in nearly a decade, a timely and valuable opportunity to harness the strong growth we’re seeing from this incredibly important inbound visitor market, forecast to be worth a record £1.7 billion to our economy this year. "This mission marks a major milestone for us to reconnect with the travel trade across Australia. Building product knowledge also broadens itineraries so visitors explore more of our nations and regions, with that spending going into local economies."
