SBiT – Seasonal Business in Travel

Founded in 2016, SBIT is the only trade organisation solely representing outbound seasonal travel businesses. We now number over 120 UK travel companies. Our members are seasonal outbound travel businesses who employ UK citizens to work in Europe for winter or summer seasons.

Why SBiT was created

Following the Brexit referendum, many seasonal outbound travel businesses wondered what the future would hold for them. Almost all were SMEs working alone.
As a result, many started to come together to share information in an attempt to help navigate the uncertain waters ahead. Quickly, as more joined in, we realised that there is strength in numbers – not just lobbying in the UK but also Governments and authorities in our main EU destination countries too.

Our aim

Working with both the UK government as well as our EU partners, our aim is to help our members develop their businesses in compliance with local regulatory requirements and also in close partnership with our EU partners – to the benefit of both.
Our lobbying aims to ensure the economic and employment contributions of this sector are recognised by Governments (and the public) on both side of the channel and consequently regulations are as streamlined and straightforward as possible – to deliver growth and prosperity for all.
