Who is Social Travel Britain 2015 for?

Social Travel Britain takes place at Sarum College, Salisbury: April 17-19

It is a conference that recognises the best initiatives in digital marketing, and introduces the thinking that will further influence best practice in the year to follow.

As the industry shifts from tourist boards to Destination Marketing Organisations (DMOs), and from cash-strapped public funding to the private sector, the time is right for a conference to embrace the challenges/possibilities of new media.

The Social Travel Britain 2015 conference explores best practice in use of social media and digital, with case studies from domestic and international DMOs which have successfully reinvented themselves for the new world.

And there will be the inaugural Social Travel Awards, recognising the best digital innovations and social media campaigns in British tourism over the past 12 months.


Those who should join us in Salisbury include:


  • Britain’s tourist boards and DMOs, marketers and tourism bodies who have an interest in how best to grasp the opportunities of social and digital
  • Tourism policy makers
