More than 2,000 delegates have pre-registered in under a week for the Best of Britain & Ireland Travel Trade Forum,
Many of the confirmed delegates have taken advantage of a personal agenda planner, which became live on January 5.
In the first three days since its launch, up to 500 meeting requests were made through the schedule planner.
Registration for the event, which takes place at London’s ExCeL on March 26-27, is open to travel industry professionals, group travel organisers, travel agents and corporate buyers of travel products and services.
The two day forum is free to attend for delegates and is a successor to the British Travel Trade Fair previously held in Birmingham.
Almost 200 exhibitors have signed up to the domestic travel event.
Registered trade visitors will receive admittance to the Best of Britain & Ireland consumer event on March 28-29 at no extra charge.
Rob Mackenzie, co-managing director of Best of Britain & Ireland Events, said:“To have 2,000 trade delegates already pre-registered in less than a week is fantastic and really confirms the Best of Britain & Ireland Travel Trade Forum’s place at the must-attend domestic tourism event for both exhibitors and delegates in 2009.
“We’re particularly delighted that up to 500 meetings were requested via the Personal Agenda Planner within just three days of it going live.
“This demonstrates that this unique development is a really welcome addition for trade visitors who are keen to maximise all the networking and business opportunities that the show presents, ensuring they get real value out of their participation at the show.”
