Coming back from the UK energized with new connections and exciting opportunities.
What a great time we had in London! As winners of 2nd Global Adventure Competition, we were invited by UK Trade and Investment Canada (UKTI) to meet potential partners and generally grow the Busbud network in the UK.
To get started on the right foot, we put together a friendly meet & greet, inviting key UK travel industry innovators to join us for a delicious glass of Québec ice cider from Face cachée de la pomme.
We couldn’t believe the response! Thanks to the help of our partners Smart Move/IRU and the Québec Delegation in London, we got to spend a few hours with over forty-five representatives of local businesses, associations and media involved in the UK travel and tourism industries. We learned a lot, and everyone seemed genuinely excited about what we are doing to simplify the bus traveller’s journey.
We also had a great time pitching Busbud at C100 and are grateful to the UKTI for connecting us with exciting potential partners and travel buddies.
A big “thank-you” to all of you – we truly felt a great sense of community and look forward to building these relationships as we expand our business in the UK.
We’ll be back!
