Global Travel Group conference will be in Florida
The Global Travel Group is to hold its annual conference at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida this year.
It is the first time the travel consortium has chosen North America for its conference.
The event will be held from November 25-29 at the new Caribbean-inspired Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, with conference sessions held on site.
The consortium, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, expects 250 member and supplier partners to attend.
Global said delegates will have plenty of opportunity to experience the resort’s theme parks and entertainment.
In the run up to the conference, it will be running a series of FAM trips, VIP events and other rewards to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Managing director Andy Stark said: "We know that Universal Orlando Resort is high up on the bucket-list for a lot of our members so, as we turn 25, we were determined to make this an extra special year for everyone involved.
"We are confident that holding our conference later in the year will help arm our agents with tools and inspiration ahead of the crucial turn of year period.
"Watch this space for further details, the countdown to our most exciting conference to date is now on."
