About this contract

VisitBritain's (VB) Commercial Partnerships Team has the responsibility for creating commercial partnerships between VB and third party suppliers (or partners) for mutual benefit. In these commercial partnerships, the association of both brands generates a specific financial, or other advantage, which is applied for the benefit of both parties. In some cases, VB will match on a 50% : 50% basis the funding provided by the third party supplier (partner) to enhance the scope of the commercial arrangement, which results in added value benefits for all.
