    2022 has been a significant year for recovery in US inbound travel to America and recent data continues to solidify its place as the UK’s no.1 inbound market for volume and value.

    Destination Britain North America is a ‘must attend’ for TravelBeat and our partners. There isn’t any other event that gets us closer to both the quality and quantity of buyers from across North America than DBNA. Plus, we save a fortune on transport and hotels vs meeting everyone separately. That said, thanks to the networking opportunities available we don’t feel like we miss out on quality time with anyone.  The event has always been a great opportunity to meet new sales partners and to raise awareness & position our partners as must experience attractions and shows in Britain. The buyers are always engaged and looking to buy both new and established shows, experiences and attractions which is exactly what we need from an event like this.
