Would you like to be considered as host supplier for a VisitScotland Connect fam trip?

As part of VisitScotland Connect 2025 there may be an opportunity to showcase your products first-hand to attending Buyers as part of a carefully curated familiarisation (fam trip) programme. If you are interested in supporting this programme, we invite you to fill in a few more questions to be considered.

Fam trips are three (3) days long and delivered pre and post VisitScotland Connect. The maximum group size per fam trip is sixteen (16).  

Please note: Demand is likely to exceed available opportunities and VisitScotland commits to showcasing a rich suite of Scottish tourism products to eligible Buyers, especially those that are working towards developing and delivering responsible products and experiences, e. g. out of season, inclusive, accessible and green products.

Scottish businesses will be contacted to host a fam trip as part of a wider logistical planning programme, but a careful balance of regional and thematic spread of accommodation and experiences is at the core of the planning.

Noting your interest does not guarantee a fam trip visit.
