Seminar Programme

TV presenter Kate Humble completes GLT Show line-up

Writer and broadcaster Kate Humble is the third celebrity speaker announced for this year’s Group Leisure & Travel Show, taking place on Thursday 10th October at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

With a TV career spanning over two decades, Kate is well known for presenting hugely popular wildlife programmes including Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Animal Park.

Kate, who is known for championing the countryside and great outdoors, had her first travel article published by The Telegraph in 1996 and that same year landed her first job at the BBC.

In 2007 Kate moved to a small holding in Wales and in 2012 set up Humble by Nature – a rural skills centre on a working farm in Monmouthshire, offering visitors a range of courses and accommodation. She is the author of three books, the latest of which is Thinking on my Feet, celebrating the many benefits of walking.

Kate will join travel expert Simon Calder & Julie Peasgood in the Seminar Theatre.

About the show, julie said:

“I loved speaking at the Group Leisure and Travel Show a couple of years ago – everyone was so welcoming. This time I shall be talking about cruises (as I’m about to embark on my 77th!) and I’m really looking forward to returning – to see familiar friendly faces and meet new ones!”

About the show, simon said:

“It’s a really interesting event because you get the whole spectrum; group travel organisers doing great things in the UK and overseas to visitor attractions, hotels and it’s an atmosphere which is very warm, very friendly.” Speaking at the 2018 show, Simon described it as being “great for networking, doing deals and to see what the opposition is doing.”

Simon Calder to make welcome return as GLT Show speaker this October

As well as being senior travel editor of The Independent, travel guru Simon Calder is an acclaimed TV and radio broadcaster, featuring as the ‘go to’ expert on programmes including BBC Breakfast, Good Morning Britain and both the BBC and ITV News.

Visitors to last year’s GLT Show enjoyed Simon sharing even more of his knowledge and travel expertise during another topical talk and presentation.

Simon previously commented that the travel industry is “devoted to human happiness” and in an interview with Group Leisure & Travel magazine, he shared his optimism for travel, adding: “We are living at a time when we have the widest horizons of every generation and people have the freedom to go to places.”
