Unite Indian Ocean & Middle East

Friday 1st March 2024

First introduced in 2009, this very quickly became the ‘must do’ event for UK and European-based tour operators & selected agents and Indian Ocean & Middle Eastern suppliers: tourist boards, hoteliers, representation companies, airlines, ground handlers and car hire companies.

Held in central London, this is the only, UK based, dedicated event for these regions allowing the key decision-makers to hold pre-scheduled, one-to-one meetings at the start of the busy contracting period

The 2024 event will take place on Friday 1st March and will take place at the QE II Centre, Westminster, London. Full details will be available in the coming months.
