Travel Gossip will hold 30 roadshows around the UK next year, up from the 22 events taking place in 2022.

Some events will take place at locations never previously visited before by Travel Gossip Roadshows, such as Cambridge, Cornwall, Hull, Wolverhampton, Bolton, Oxford and Edinburgh.

The extra locations mean 900 agents will get to go along to their nearest event to network with suppliers, find out more about their product and have the chance to win travel prizes.

Following feedback from agents and suppliers, a number of changes have been made for next year’s events.

Supplier numbers in most locations will be limited to eight, down from 10, to enable more quality time for networking.

Events will be carefully curated to ensure a good balance of suppliers, including agent favourites and lesser-known ‘hidden gem’ travel brands.

Travel Gossip Managing Director Bruce Martin said: “We love putting on in-person events for agents and suppliers. I think we’re a bit addicted!  

“You can’t beat seeing a room full of agents and suppliers meeting face-to-face, talking about travel products and building relationships.

“We’re so pleased that our roadshow events are well received and I’d like to thank everyone for supporting us over the years.  See you in 2023!”

Four of the roadshows have been designed as dedicated evenings showcasing Canadian destinations, ground services and airlines, under the banner Canada Takeover.

These will take place in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Bournemouth, with 12 Canada specialist suppliers.
