New dual destination campaign

London and Scotland - the perfect dual destination trip

We’ve been working alongside London & Partners in partnership with Expedia Group Media Solutions and Caledonian Sleeper to deliver a brand new campaign.

Running from March to May, this new London and Scotland dual destination campaign is part of VisitBritain’s Gateway Innovation Fund. 

With a large proportion of US visitors arriving to the UK via London, this activity aims to drive increased visits and spend from our target audiences in the US, as part of the same trip. It will position London and Scotland as the perfect dual destination trip for US visitors and highlight the ease of travel between both locations.  

The campaign forms part of London & Partner’s successful bid for VisitBritain’s Gateway Innovation Fund. The Fund encourages collaboration between destinations and industry to develop international marketing campaigns to showcase the very best of a region, motivating travel this year.

Joining Expedia Group Media Solutions as an exclusive transport partner is Caledonian Sleeper who will feature in the campaign and on Expedia's website promoting their overnight rail services as a convenient and sustainable travel option between both destinations.  

The campaign is backed by Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) - Glasgow Life, VisitAberdeenshire, Visit Inverness Loch Ness, and Forever Edinburgh - the capital’s destination marketing and promotions brand for visitors - to ensure regional spread and provide additional support through their channels.
