We are very pleased to introduce the updated information for the East Asia Agent UK School Tour. This event is being lead by the British Council China for the East Asia region. The tour will take place in the UK during the week of 21 January 2013. Around 15 agents from East Asia countries and places will join in the group. There will be two fairs for schools and agents to have face to face introduction opportunities. The two fair locations, one in Surrey and the other in Bristol, are expected to offer more chances for schools not only in the surrounding areas but also to the west and north. The registration is now open for all schools and colleges interested in this event.

What are the benefits for UK institutions?
Registered UK schools and colleges will be entitled to:

1. Have face to face introductions to business leaders and decision makers from East Asia and showcase the excellence of UK school education in a vivid and impressive way and enhance its prestigious perceptions in people’s minds
2. Discuss opportunities and challenges to learn more about the market in East Asia region. At the same time, there are the chances of signing business agreements with business leaders without travelling to East Asia
3. Showcase the excellence of UK education in front of media and build up institution brand awareness among public through free media reports with no delay
4. Build up long-term relationships with leading businesses and media for future collaborations
5. Grab direct student recruitment opportunities as some of the agent representatives have got ready customers at hands
