London has always been a sightseeing and shopping destination. Over the last years it has also become the place to be due to its culinary highlights, with lots of very innovative hospitality concepts. Therefore, we collaborate with the Austrian Council of Shopping Places (ACSP), Centerprise Group, and umdasch The Store Makers, to organize a two-day trip to London.
The highlight of this trip is an exclusive London Shopping Safari with Ibrahim Ibrahim, CEO of Portland Design and member of the ACROSS Advisory Board.
