Held annually, the Group Travel Fairs will take place at the venues below.  

Sponsored by Group Travel Organsier magazine, we distribute over 20,000 invitations. 

The fairs attract over 50 exhibitors from destinations, attractions, entertainment, accommodations and places to eat. The fairs are building on their success each year and provide visitors with valuable information and ideas for future group travel itineraries.

Tourism South East is actively working with Coach & Tour Operators encouraging them to bring 'VIP Coaches' of Group Travel Organisers and therefore continuing to invite quality visitors.

'The Group Travel Fairs that Tourism South East organise are invaluable for attracting new business, meeting existing clients and developing new business opportunities with interested group organisers. They are significant part of the Group marketing strategy for Waddesdon Manor'. Kim Hallett - Waddesdon Manor.
