Description

VisitBritain/VisitEngland is the national tourist board, with a role of boosting Britain's appeal as a tourism destination, improving its ranking in the eyes of international leisure and business travellers and growing the value of the tourism economy by working in partnership with the industry and delivering inspirational marketing campaigns, driving visits and spend across the nations and regions of Britain.

The global pandemic of the past two years has put a halt on VisitBritain's ability to safely run UK travel industry events in India.
