Description
History
UKinbound was founded in 1977 as the British Incoming Tour Operators Association and was renamed UKinbound on 8th November 2004. Our role is to represent the interests of companies deriving a substantial part of their income from the provision of tours and tourism services for overseas visitors within Britain.
Originally set up to represent the interests of tour operators, UKinbound grew and associate members were invited to join in 1983, expanding the membership of UKinbound to include suppliers to the inbound industry. 1983 also saw the first UKinbound convention for all members, bringing together full and associate members for the first time. Since then the annual convention and workshop has become firmly established in the UKinbound calendar of events providing many networking opportunities and encouraging sharing of best practice.
Held in a different location each year cities bid to host the event, which offers the opportunity to promote their local industry to an influential group of visitors.
