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 tours and holidays, and their preferred suppliers.

The monthly interviews at groupleisure.com and in Group Leisure magazine are kindly supported by the Group Travel Organisers Association. Every person interviewed receives a free year membership to the GTOA, worth £20.
