VisitBritain has been putting the importance of the business events sector in the spotlight, hosting its first ‘Ambassador Reception’ to recognise city sector and academic ambassadors who continue to secure new international business events in Britain.

Latest statistics for January to March 2023 show Brits have spent on average 12% more per trip on their domestic holidays in England compared to the first three months of 2022.

In December 2022, I embarked on an incredible journey through the UK Boardroom Apprentice scheme, which provided me with the unique opportunity to serve as an apprentice on the VisitBritain Board.

Lady Borwick has been appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as permanent Chair of the VEAB.

This World Tourism Day we are celebrating the many businesses and organisations across Britain that are investing in growing their business sustainably.

We are delighted to be one of 65 organisations from across the UK who have been confirmed to join UK Boardroom Apprentice 2024 as Host Boards, providing a safe seat at the table for aspiring board members to learn.

The three-day trade event, which took place in San Francisco from 7-10 September, was led by our Chairman Nick de Bois CBE.

As part of its education and partnership role with British nations and cities, VisitBritain has partnered with pro-social organisation New Intent to create and launch its diversity, equity and inclusion DEI Pathway, supporting the understanding and deeper implementation of DEI across workplaces and in event design.

VisitEngland has today Tuesday 5 September announced the 100 winners of this year’s ROSE Award.
