Alistair Turner , PR Director of the Britain for Events Campaign will update us on the campaign which has recently received backing from prime minister David Cameron and John Penrose, minister of tourism. Events in Britain, whether for business or pleasure, are now worth an estimated £36 billion. Additionally, the UK has a reputation for being world leaders in creating and staging events of all types and sizes globally. Now in its 10th successful year, Britain for Events is an annual marketing campaign designed to promote Britain as a world class destination for events of all types, and is a celebration of the knowledge and skill of those that host, produce and manage those events.

Stuart Sutton of Linder Myers, the Tourism Society's corporate sponsor will enlighten us about the The Bribery Act 2010 which came into force on 1 July 2011. The Act repeals the common law offence of bribery and creates several new offences carrying a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment or an unlimited fine for which employees, directors and commercial organisations can be liable. Adequate anti-bribery procedures will enable organisations to rely on a statutory defence to a charge of failing to prevent bribery.
