We would like to invite you to attend the Great West Way Travel Trade Marketplace 2024. This hybrid event is free of charge for eligible buyers and will take place over two days:
The virtual one-to-one meeting event will bring together tour operators and wholesalers with products, destinations and services that feature on the route, including attractions, hotels, transport, ground handlers and other sectors of the route’s tourism infrastructure.
This event is suitable for B2B international and domestic tour operators and wholesalers who are interested to find out more about our tourism suppliers and destinations along and within easy reach of the route.
Suppliers will include destinations, DMO’s, attractions and activity providers, refreshment and accommodation providers, tour guides and other tourism related suppliers.
At the Networking Day you will be able to meet suppliers in person, follow up on conversations you had at the virtual event and network with industry professionals.
You'll gain a better understanding of the destinations between London and Bristol and be in an excellent position to contract tourism businesses as part of your new bookable Great West Way programmes for 2025 and beyond.
We recommend that buyers attend the whole event and have included a travel day on Wednesday 23 October, to enable buyers from further afield to attend in person if they wish. Buyers also have the opportunity to explore the Great West Way further with a bespoke itinerary for a self-drive discovery visit (costs may apply).
