Agents in red, white and blue at last year’s event
We’re very much looking forward to
this year’s Travel Brits as it’s set to be the biggest celebration yet. We’re always struck by the enthusiasm of agents when we share our latest product offerings and the energy they put into promoting holidays at home. It’s great to see how the Brits has grown over the last decade. Tariq Khan, head of sales, Hoseasons
The Brits are a fantastic celebration of
our unique UK tourism product and a huge thank you to the fabulous agents who support the domestic sector. We look forward to celebrating with you and highlighting even more of the amazing moments that you can experience right here in the UK. Claire Burdall, marketing partnerships manager, VisitEngland
We love being part of the Brits –
everyone always has a great time! We have extended our UK programme again this year so it’s always interesting to hear how much (or little!) agents know about our tours. We look forward to seeing faces old and new. Claire Webb, business development manager, Great Rail Journeys
Newmarket is thrilled to be joining the Brits for the first time, especially in its
10th anniversary year. We cannot wait to see what surprises are in store on the day in Wales and we look forward to showing the agents our wide and ever-expanding portfolio of UK escorted holidays, sporting events, theatre breaks and shows. Richard Forde, agency sales manager, Newmarket Holidays
I am delighted that Abta LifeLine is the charity partner and part of the 10th
birthday celebrations. I look forward to raising the profile of the support the charity can give to agents and their families in their time of need and raising important funds. Trudie Drake, director, Abta LifeLine

Ten years is a great achievement for
