GLT Show 2022: visitor registration and free coach travel bookings now open

As always, the event is totally geared towards group travel organisers and coach operators looking for ideas, offers and specialist advice. It’s an occasion when the leading attractions, hotels, operators, tourist boards, cruise lines and all areas of the travel trade come together to help GTOs face-to-face with their specific needs.

GLT Show Organiser, Sharon Yandell said: “The overwhelming feedback last year was about how friendly and welcoming the event was. The visitor and exhibitor experience are of paramount importance to us and we work hard to ensure the day is not only valuable but also enjoyable.”

This was summed by up by Zoe Kent from 2021 exhibitor Blenheim Palace who said: “The GLT Show feels like it has a lot more of a friendlier approach than other trade shows I have exhibited at.”

Visitors and exhibitors can expect easy, free parking adjacent to the Arena, a complimentary bacon butty breakfast (it wouldn’t be the GLT Show without it), and a free light lunch for all. Sharon Yandell explained the thinking: “We introduced a sandwich lunch for visitors last year who really appreciated the extra efforts to make their experience the best it can be. So, this year we’re expanding lunch to include exhibitors too.”

Opening at 10am, visitors can expect to meet experts who really understand groups and come away with ideas and special offers. Plus, there will be talks in the Seminar Theatre which everyone can attend. The country’s leading travel expert, Simon Calder is already confirmed with more speakers due to be announced soon.
