VisitBritain has been appointed by Transport for London to act as its management agent to distribute the Oyster card overseas. The card allows discount travel on the London transport network and encouraging people to use it will allow them to make the most of sightseeing.

Jaco Coetzee, head of retail at VisitBritain, says: “TfL will be able to use our extensive overseas network and retail operation to reach millions of international travellers who come to the UK each year.”
