Welcome to the website of the Business Visits & Events Partnership.

The Business Visits and Events Partnership is the new name for the Business Tourism Partnership. Its mission is to 'lead the way in supporting a competitive, high quality and more profitable business visits and events sector in Britain'.

The Partnership:

• Provides a cohesive, independent industry voice to represent Britain's business visit and events sector working in partnership with VisitBritain.
• Its membership is aimed at the leading trade associations and government agencies with an interest in conferences, meetings, exhibitions, trade fairs, outdoor events, incentive travel, corporate hospitality, cultural, sporting and leisure events.
• Seeks to influence and develop policies and strategies favourable to the development of the business visits and events sector, together with all these organisations.
• Provides a forum for members to select the important issues relating to business visits and events.
• Acts as a central focus for lobbying and speaking up collectively for business visits and events, independently of government departments and agencies.
• Promotes the benefits of business visits and events to relevant government authorities with responsibilities for decisions that impact the growth of the sector.
• Communicates with and better informs key influencers and industry practitioners.
• Encourage best practice.
