Global Travel Group unveils anniversary conference theme
The Global Travel Group has unveiled the theme of its 25th anniversary conference – Ignite.
The event takes place at Universal Orlando Resort, Florida, on November 25-29.
Commercial director Cherie Richards said: "We really are pulling out all the stops in our Silver Jubilee year. The conference will be our first in North America and we can promise that it is going to be bigger and better than ever before.
"I’m pleased to say that interest is high and that we have already got 150 Global agents signed up to attend. We are expecting the numbers to rise further too, which means we will surpass our original target of 250 attendees.
"Right now we are putting the finishing touches to the programme and will be revealing the full line-up soon. Universal, and Florida in general, are great sellers for our members so I would urge everyone to come along and experience what is sure to be an inspirational and motivating few days."
Delegates will stay at the Caribbean-inspired Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, with conference sessions held onsite.
