Start with the visitor market

List the overseas markets and kinds of visitor your business wants to serve. Use that brief when reviewing the association’s current membership activities. This helps you judge whether the available contacts and policy work relate to your actual inbound business.

Prepare for useful introductions

Before attending an event, prepare a short explanation of your product, operating area and trade booking process. Identify the partners you want to meet and why. A specific brief gives a prospective operator a clearer reason to continue the conversation.
