Taking place at the New Connaught Rooms, London , the show will host over 60 exhibitors including tour operators, overland operators, accommodation providers, tourist boards and travel agencies, many of whom will be offering exclusive money saving offers on the day.
One lucky visitor to the show will walk away with the main prize of a year's worth of travel. This fantastic package takes in many major festivals throughout the year including Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls, Bunyol for La Tomatina, Munich for Oktoberfest, Dublin for St Patricks Day, Edinburgh for Hogmanay, Turkey for ANZAC Day and Transylvania for Halloween. Throughout the day, student specialists STA Travel will also be giving away a flight an hour to various destinations.
Run by TNT Magazine, the show will also offer one-to-one travel advice and the opportunity to learn from the experts in a series of free travel talks. Calling upon the experience he gained from travelling overland from London to his home in Sydney, travel writer Peter Moore, author of The Wrong Way Home, will speak on one of the world's great journeys - the overland trail to Australia.
Also talking at the event will be Alastair Humphreys who cycled 50,000 miles around the world, across 50 countries in five continents in 5 years to raise money for charity, and Leon Logothetis, who travelled across the UK and US on just $5 a day.
These talks will be complemented by a comprehensive programme of seminars on a range of topics including travel writing and photography, taking a career break and volunteer and charity projects. Given by leading specialists in the travel industry, all of the talks are free and promise to provide inspiration, information and practical advice.
