Bournemouth-born success story Not Just Travel named BIFF 2026 lead sponsor
Bournemouth International Film Festival is proud to announce notjusttravel.com as lead sponsor of its second edition.
Not Just Travel is Bournemouth’s largest travel company. Alongside its consumer brand, its recruitment arm, The Travel Franchise, trains people to become independent travel consultants. Co-founder Steve Witt built the business from its Bournemouth headquarters. Steve is originally from Blandford Forum and studied at Bournemouth University.
It’s a natural partnership. Not Just Travel helps people build careers doing what they love, and BIFF does the same for first-time filmmakers and emerging creative talent across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
Steve Witt says, “Our business started 25 years ago with two people and one idea, and everything we do is about helping other entrepreneurs turn their own ideas into thriving travel businesses. Steve McCarten has built BIFF with nothing but creativity and determination in just two years. That’s exactly the kind of achievement that deserves recognition, and why we’re glad to support him and his team.”
BIFF 2026 takes place on 9–10 October at the Hilton Bournemouth. Get your tickets.
