Organisers

Established for thirty years, Landor Travel Publications has been developing a multi-dimensional strategy of activities to support the UK tourism and travel industry and highlight the full potential of tourism across the country with new opportunity and product areas for both domestic and incoming customers.

We have a range of ‘routes to market’ for destinations, attractions and other tourism and travel suppliers including Group Travel Organiser magazine and its 10,000 group buyer readership, a range of themed and regional guides developed with clients in print, niche websites, and national and regional events. We have organised the Tourism and Events Showcase for the North, and Tourism and Attractions Show for the Midlands, over a number of years.

In January 2016, the First Go Travel Show was successfully held in London at the Copper Box arena in Olympic Park, attracting some 60 exhibitors and over 600 key buyers and decision-makers from the group travel organiser and tour operator community.

A second new event, the Go Travel Show North, will be a key part of the Northern Tourism Initiative at the end of October alongside the companion conference on Tourism and Transport in the North.

The new events are designed to capture the growing focus on the importance of regional tourism being demonstrated at both national and local government levels, and various themes and visitor strategies that are emerging within the tourism sector to attract both domestic and incoming visitors, and to meet their needs in new ways. LTP is itself promoting a number of such themes including ‘Discover Britain’s Delightful Towns’ in print and as an online product, and partnering with other like-minded organisations.
