Visit Cambridge/Cambridge BID – The ABID proposal
Over the past few months, you may have picked up on the conversation about an ABID (Accommodation BID)/ Visitor Levy being introduced in the City.

Love Cambridge Gift Card Corporate Offer 2023
The Love Cambridge Gift card directly supports local businesses by bringing money back into our economy. It can be spent in over 180 Cambridge City Centre businesses offering a fantastic choice for recipients wishing to spend their card for shopping, dining, leisure or even a bit of pampering.
This autumn Cambridge BID is asking businesses and organisations to ‘support local’ when thinking about employee rewards or gifting by offering FREE Love Cambridge Gift Card/s when a business or organisation purchases £1000 or more worth of Love Cambridge Gift Cards before 31st December 2023.
Cambridge BID is delighted to offer businesses or organisations a 5% ‘cash back’ (via Love Cambridge Gift Card/s) on all Love Cambridge Gift Card orders of £1000 or more between now and 31st December 2023.
The FREE Love Cambridge Gift Card/s will be issued in January 2024 and the amount will be based on the total spend of a business / organisation on Love Cambridge Gift Cards between now and 31st December 2023.
The ‘cash back’ amount can be issued on more than one card so these FREE Love Cambridge Gift Cards can then be used during 2024 to treat your staff to a meal out or a trip to the cinema, for example.
