Travel Trade LIVE Networking Event 2023
With great joy, we look back on our Travel Trade LIVE Networking Event "Perspective The Netherlands 2024/2025" this year, which took place on September 14, 2023, in the province of Noordbrabant. This year, the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions (NBTC), in cooperation with VisitBrabant, invited Dutch partners from various tourist sectors and travel organizers from Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom to the vibrant city of Eindhoven. In more than 600 meetings, 49 Dutch partners and 49 travel organizers from the different countries deepened existing relationships and forged new connections. In exciting breakout sessions and the subsequent FamTrip on September 15, supported by VisitBrabant, participants learned all about the themes of van Gogh and New Dutch. Read more details about this year's LIVE Networking Event.
