VisitBritain is planning to organise a sales mission this year in November. Vishal Bhatia, Country Manager (India), VisitBritain, said, “We are planning to conduct our sales mission called Destination Britain India from 19-21 November at Grand Hyatt, Gurugram, which will see around 30 suppliers from Britain engaging with hosted buyers from across India over B2B meetings and seminars.”
The National Tourist Organisation (NTO) was recently awarded as the best European tourism board at the Indian Travel Awards (ITA) North, which is a testament to the extraordinary work they have done in the past year.
They regularly organise sales missions around the globe, bringing the UK tourism industry together with key players in the international travel trade. They build knowledge of Britain among key influencers by delivering workshops and seminars across their overseas network and attract agents and operators to Britain to showcase the best of the destination.
VisitBritain actively promoted Birmingham and West Midlands region at the time of the Commonwealth Games.
The destination has received fantastic response from the travel fraternity post-pandemic and are continuing to get increasing number of visitors from India. “The fraternity has chosen UK as one of the top travel destinations in
Europe and we have seen massive influx of tourists, as well as students and business visitors,” said Shuja Bin Mehdi, B2B Manager (India), VisitBritain. “We look forward for the travel trade in India to interact with the suppliers from the UK at Destination Britain India,” he added. After being honoured at the ITA, Mehdi said, “I think it is a huge vote of thanks from industry for giving us this honour.”
