Visit West (as ‘Bath & Bristol’) are attending a number of travel trade events during late 2022 and early 2023, representing our region and members.
We will be meeting with contacts old and new to talk about new developments in our region and help them to sell the destinations to their client base. If you would like to talk to us about our work with the travel trade and how your member business can benefit from this valuable market, please don't hesitate to get in touch via email.
