Trade press publications for hospitality and tourism businesses
There is a wealth of high-quality advice, guidance and resources available to businesses to support you in responding to the challenges of coronavirus, but it can be difficult to know where to look.
One way to access business support is to work with trade press publications.
Trade press publications provide advice, support, training and guidance for businesses and individuals, and also offer promotional opportunities that will help to grow your network.
Getting to know more about trade press publications
Trade press is the broad term for both printed publications and online resources that provide regular news and intelligence to audiences of people working in a particular industry.
Features often include market-leading research, growth-oriented advice and idea-driven initiatives in the form of articles, newsletters, magazines, video and discursive forums led by leaders within that sector.
Keeping up to date with sector news is key to understanding an ever-changing industry, new trends and ensuring you stay one-step ahead of the competition.
Engaging with publications can also provide PR and promotional opportunities for your business and have your voice heard across the sector.
