Martin Evans, creator of SET-JET 25 and managing director of The Tourism Business, said: "I'm delighted that the event programme is taking shape with such illustrious names sharing their knowledge and experience and I look forward to seeing the international screen tourism community under one roof for the very first time.
"The event programme has been carefully planned to cover all areas of screen tourism and to help the sector prepare for set-jetting's next wave of unprecedented growth."
