Virtual Travel Trade Showcase, 05-06 October
Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire are excited to announce that they will be hosting a Visit Peak District & Derbyshire Travel Trade Show
We still have spaces available to businesses interested in joining the ERDF funded Virtual Travel Trade Showcase. This is a great opportunity to promote your business to the national and international travel trade. Although international travel is not fully operating at the moment, in normal times the lead time for bookings is usually 12 to 18 months, so this is a great time to explore growing your business to a wider audience of visitors.
Through the event you will have a virtual stand which you will be able to upload your logo, promotional video and literature. You can also book 1:1 appointments and offer drop in sessions
