Membership will be open to anyone who is in full or part-time education and studying for a qualification in the tourism and events industries. It will also be extended to those that have recently started employment within the sector who desire to further their knowledge. Annual membership will cost £35, inclusive of VAT, and members will receive benefits such as: access to industry information and research, employment and placement/internship opportunities, personal development and professional networking, education and training, a dedicated student area of the BACD website and a membership certificate. Comments Sue Stuart, chair of BACD; "Support, assistance and education of the next generation of employees is vital if the UK is to continue to be regarded as a market leader in business tourism. “BACD has taken a pro-active approach to ensuring that this is the case by introducing its student membership package, which will assist and support individuals in the formative years of their careers in such a dynamic industry." Comments Tony Rogers, chief executive of BACD; “We already have close and valued links with the academic sector. BACD advises on new programme development, provides speakers to universities and colleges, and regularly communicates with lecturers. The launch of the BACD student membership is the logical next step in building our bridges with academia.”
