VisitScotland Connect, our flagship travel-trade event, will return to P&J Live in Aberdeen on Wednesday 9 – Thursday 10 April 2025 and registration for eligible businesses opens today.  

Following the successes of our new format events in 2023 and 2024, we’re pleased to announce the registration opening for our 2025 event. VisitScotland Connect creates opportunities for Scottish businesses to showcase their business and product to operators from across the world, and will enable business contracting for 2026, 2027 and beyond.          

The event has been praised for its importance in establishing connections, supporting businesses in their ambitions to internationalise, and the subsequent business potential it brings to Scotland’s valuable tourism industry.
