Outbound and Inbound Market Visits (formerly Trade Missions) and Study Tours



Market Visits
The developing economies in many parts of the world are creating new opportunities for business, and with our years of experience in this field, we are aware of the problems that can arise. We organise inbound missions from all over the world. Contact us to discuss your requirements - your arrangements will be in safe hands.

Study Tours
If you are considering a Study Tour, then we can help. Not only do Study Tours take a great deal of time and dedication, they also require specialist knowledge, creative lateral thinking and exceptional management skills. Events Matter brings all these qualities together, and pass these benefits on to you - our client.

An Understanding of This Special Kind of Travel
We currently work with numerous Chambers of Commerce, Business Links and Trade Associations. Our work and reputation with these organisations has steadily grown as we have continually proven our understanding of the special requirements for market visit and study tour travel. Time and time again, new clients to Events Matter mention the fact that their former agents just did not grasp the mechanics of this type of specialised travel. We have!

Group or Individual Travel
Some of our clients prefer the market visitors to travel as a group; some clients prefer their delegates to have the flexibility of personal preference; and of course, some clients prefer a mixture of group and individual travel. Whatever your Organisation's policy, Events Matter easily adapts to your needs. If you prefer you can co-ordinate your delegates' requirements and feed them through to us en masse or we can communicate with your delegates on an individual basis and fulfil their personal travel arrangements.

Flights Events Matter employs former airline-management that is fully conversant with the intricate airline business. We negotiate the most favourable fares on your behalf, not only in terms of price but also flexibility. We will advise you on the most economic times to fly, the most convenient airlines to fly with, the most flexible airlines - and we will give in-depth information on a selection of appropriate airlines to help you make your choice. Local Agents All of Events Matters' appointed agents throughout the world have proven ability to offer expert local knowledge and logistical fulfilment. They are also established specialist suppliers in the organisation of conventions, conferences, incentives, meetings & events. In addition to coach or limousine airport transfers to your chosen hotel, we can arrange sightseeing trips for you if your busy work schedule permits using friendly local English-speaking guides

Hotel Accommodation
Events Matter arranges all standards of business accommodation for market visit and study tour groups using our considerable buying power to obtain the best rates for our clients. We can advise on hotels situated within close proximity to the British Embassy, exhibition centre or business area - whatever your specific requirement. And if you really need to know, we can give you the bedroom measurements useful if taking samples or conducting business meetings.

All you need to do is identify your new business market and we will get you there!
