VisitScotland Connect 2026
VisitScotland Connect creates opportunities for Scottish businesses to showcase their business and product to operators from across the world, and will enable business contracting for 2027, 2028 and beyond.
The event has been praised for its importance in establishing connections, supporting businesses in their ambitions to internationalise, and the subsequent business potential it brings to Scotland’s valuable tourism industry.
In 2025, we celebrated our most successful event yet, with:
8,200+ meetings held over two days
243 Scottish tourism businesses showcased
272 tour operators and travel advisors in attendance
representation from 20 international markets
VisitScotland Connect is open to Scottish tourism businesses offering tourism product(s) which can be contracted at trade rates and based in Scotland (or have a Scottish office). You'll also need to have staff experienced in working with UK and international trade buyers and have a listing on our travel trade website.
All applications are subject to approval by VisitScotland, and you’ll receive an email to let you know the decision made regarding your application.
