Build Back Better – UKinbound head to Manchester
Ukinbound , the trade association that represents the interests of the UK’s inbound tourism sector and ensures it is recognised as a leading economic and employment driver in the UK, are travelling to Manchester in September for their annual convention. The theme of the convention will be how to build back better after the Covid-19 pandemic has obliterated much of the industry as UK international borders continue to be tighter than most others around the world and specifically Europe.
We spoke to Joss Croft of UKinbound, Sheona Southern of Marketing Manchester and Tim Reynolds from host Hotel the Kimpton ClockTower about what to expect from the convention and the visit to the heart of Manchester.
Booking for the convention, which will be held September 16th and 17th, is , for the first time, open to non-members and completes at end of play this Friday 13th August. For more detail go to the Ukinbound convention page here
