Workshop: How to Work with Travel Trade

Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Join Tourism Nova Scotia and Destination Cape Breton Association for a workshop led by Eva Gutsche from STEM Consulting and Marketing Inc. on Tuesday, November 30.

Travel trade is the collection of companies which buy and sell travel. This includes receptive, international inbound tour operators and travel agents.

Working with the travel trade will provide you with access to a broader market of potential travellers and help you increase bookings for your business!

This workshop is designed to provide tactics, processes and best business practices on how to develop and expand your distribution, and ultimately, your business with domestic and international markets.
 
The presentations and hands-on activities will help you answer the questions:

  • How can travel trade help build my business?
  • How will travel trade change how I do business?
  • Which travel trade partners should I work with?
  • How do I gain new travel trade partners?
