Travel Trade, taking the East to the world

As members of UK Inbound, VEE & Partners are developing a Travel Trade strategy. With VisitBritain we have arranged online and face-to-face Taking England To The World workshops.

In March we brought 12 international tour operators on a familiarisation trip, including stays at The Maid’s Head Hotel, Norwich and Bedford Lodge, Newmarket.

Recently our Travel Trade Executive Helen Cutting represented Suffolk and Norfolk at VisitBritain’s Destination Britain North America Trade Event in San Francisco where she presented to more than 40 buyers. Discover Newmarket’s Tracey Harding was our representative at the UK Inbound conference in Belfast.

We will be attending the Britain and Ireland Marketplace event in London in January and British Travel & Tourism Show at the NEC in March.

The East of England is a unique part of the British Isles and is ready to be explored year-round.

To help give you an insight into the variety of product on offer we have created a range of itineraries, including the Broads National Park; unspoilt coastline and wide sandy beaches; beautiful landscapes; a world-famous university city; three architecturally stunning cathedrals; a Royal Estate and stately homes; medieval, Tudor and Georgian buildings throughout picturesque towns and villages; waterways and wildlife; delicious locally produced food and shellfish; vineyards and breweries; superb shopping; the world’s HQ of flat horseracing; and all are accessible by road, train and from seaports, airports and London. We are here to help you with ideas, experiences, product information and everything the East of England has to offer, to help you promote our destination to your customers.
