Best of Britain & Ireland Travel Trade Forum (BoBI) is the official travel trade event of the year. This essential industry showcase offers unrivalled business opportunities for exhibitors, trade visitors and VIP Hosted Buyers from overseas and the domestic market. BoBI sells the best of Britain and Ireland to British and international markets in a strictly trade-only business environment.

The very important and exciting news is that BoBI has been acquired by Expo Management Ltd who will be responsible for organising the show from now onwards.
