The three-day programme of this year’s City Fair has been announced and ETOA’s B2B workshop for the best of Europe’s city and regional travel product will open with a reception at the Tower of London. On Sunday 14th June, City Fair delegates will have the opportunity to start work early with an informal networking reception and a private viewing of the Crown Jewels. The business programme will commence on Monday morning at Wembley Stadium where a day’s worth of B2B appointments between European tourism suppliers and international tour operators will take place.
This year City Fair’s programme has been extended to include a City Tourism Conference titled “Selling Cities” on Tuesday 17th June, also at Wembley Stadium. Speakers will explore various topics including the selling of short haul city breaks, working with long haul markets, simple but effective digital strategies for destinations and the real value of film tourism.
