My Group & I - we talk to Group Organisers
Our regular interviews find out how GTOs got into group travel organising, details of their group members, how they arrange group trips and holidays, and their preferred attractions, destinations and travel trade suppliers.
Reading the interviews is a great way of seeing how experienced travel people go about organising group travel. If you know someone we should feature, or if you're a GTO interested in talking to us, get in touch.
