  • After a great experience at our first Destinations Show in 2023, Travelzoo returned this year as sponsors of The Travel Stage. That extra opportunity provided us with an excellent level of brand exposure and was the perfect platform to showcase our brand. Footfall to the stand as abundant and high quality throughout. Being at Destinations meant we were able to meet and chat to both existing customers face to face, but also able to sign up lots of new Travelzoo members. We felt supported throughout and gained several pieces of press coverage via the show’s PR team. We’re looking forward to future shows!

  • I exhibited at both Destinations Manchester & London for the first time and given the cost involved, was nervous. However I’m so glad I took the gamble, I have such a strong pipeline of leads for the next 12-24 months, which I would never have got otherwise. I also feel I’ve been able to access clients I wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

  • We love exhibiting at Destinations year after year. It delivers an amazing attendance that keeps us busy throughout the event. The diversity of exhibitors, coupled with the amazing inspiration that can be found on the stages creates a perfect, vibrant environment to promote Malta to UK travellers.

  • Our first Destinations London was a great success! It provided the right platform and audience for Emirates Holidays’ first B2C event. We were very busy throughout the four days, and we couldn’t have asked for more in terms of the quality of the visitors – all enthusiastic travellers planning and booking their next trips. The organising team provided excellent support in the run up to and during the show, which meant we were able to make the most of all the excellent opportunities available for increasing brand exposure and driving visitors to our stand.
    Anita Kongson, Managing Director Emirates Holidays U.K. & Ireland
  • London provides Trailfinders with a unique opportunity to engage with travel enthusiasts who are both longstanding clients and new to our business. We’re always delighted with the number of visitors as well as the calibre of the show and the other exhibitors. The organisers and contractors are always supportive and approachable and we feel that the layout of the show works well. Trailfinders looks forward to many more successful events at Destinations London and is glad of the special PR opportunity it affords.

    Marketing Assistant Manager, Trailfinders
  • We were apprehensive to participate for the first time not knowing what to expect. The quality of the visitors delivered was outstanding, we generated business and business leads from the first day. Excellent organisation of the event and excellent communication from the team. Needless to say we have already booked for both shows next year.
