Memorable group visits are created at the show, like these…
GTO Mike Herring said he wouldn’t have visited the Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent if it wasn’t for the Group Leisure & Travel Show. Mike said: “It was great to explore a very different world and one which leaves you in awe of the sailors who lived in the cramped conditions for weeks on end.”
How a group organiser met the team from The Royal Mint at the show and then organised a memorable trip for the Newton Abbot Travel Club. GTO, Carol Swiecicka said the highlight was getting their hands on the new King Charles coin before it was even released to the banks.
Gina Savill-Turner of Upminster and Cranham Residents’ Association had found contacting tourist boards for help difficult. She said being able to meet Visit Ely at the exhibition was a “breath of fresh air” and her group was “blown away” by their trip there.
A visit to Richmond wasn’t on the radar when organiser Andrew Moss headed to the GLT Show, but it turned out to be a winner for his NHS Retirement Fellowship group after the “enthusiasm of the people we met on the VisitRichmond stand.”
Exhibitor success stories
The organisers of the Living Crafts festival at Hatfield Park in Hertfordshire have seen a huge rise in group bookings after exhibiting at last year’s Group Leisure & Travel Show and are delighted with the increased interest from GTOs.
