MARKETPLACE

14 April 2026 | London, U.K.

We believe positive impact storytelling is to create travel content, that inspires tourism that enriches the lives of both visitors and the host communities.

Now in its 2nd year, the marketplace is a platform to build and foster relationships and together with an enrichment discussion programme, to shape and amplify our collective voice.

The marketplace is for positive impact suppliers, tour operators, destinations, and industry partners, looking to share their stories with the media, through one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings. Accessibility and inclusivity for stakeholders of all sizes will be a priority.

The engaging and interactive enrichment sessions will provide thoughtful content, practical learnings and an opportunity to share and exchange knowledge with one another. Join us as we bring together media and key stakeholders for insightful discussions, and relationship-building.

CONNECT

In-person face-to-face meetings: Up to (22) twenty-two 15-minute meetings will be pre-arranged through our bespoke system.
