This usually works the other way around. But now, it’s the FCO sharing Global Grapevine’s Australian travel information.

We don’t like to blow our own trumpet. Oh who are we kidding – we love to blow our own trumpet. And last week was something to get excited about.

Global Grapevine is one of around 500 UK companies that partner with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in the Know Before You Go (KBYG) campaign. We help spread the word on all things Australian travel related – from avoiding losing your passport, to checking your insurance, and mental health matters.

As a partner we were invited to a networking event at the Foreign Office in London and were able to catch up with some others and find out what they did. We also listened to a few words from the Director for Consular Services, the Minister for State and also the Head of Destinations and Sustainability for ABTA.

But what was particularly exciting for us was to see that one of our posts is being used in promotional material for the KBYG campaign. As you can imagine, that sort of recognition makes us feel rather chuffed.

Thanks to everyone involved – we’re already looking forward to the next event!
