Youtravel’s 2023 roadshows are under way, giving agents the chance to boost product knowledge and win fabulous prizes including hotel stays.
The roadshows began last month – in partnership with Travel Gossip – with more planned during the year.
The Youtravel team has so far visited Leeds, Newcastle and Stirling, bringing hotel and tourism partners from Spain and Portugal together with travel agents wanting to find out more about the region.
Six more roadshows are in the diary, three of which will focus on Turkey and North Africa in May, while the final three will focus on UAE and long haul in September.
Youtravel Partnerships Marketing Manager Josh Lewis, pictured above with Chief Sales Officer Matt Carpenter (left) and Key Account Manager Orla Kern said: “This is the first time we’ve partnered with Travel Gossip on our roadshows and so far it has been fabulous.
“Our feedback from the partners who joined us has been fantastic!
“They particularly really enjoyed the unique locations we used – The Leeds Royal Armoury and Airth Castle in Stirling.
“They loved the format – welcome drinks, speed networking, dinner and drinks and prize giveaways – not to mention the quality and engaging agents that turned up in full force each night.”
Each partner – Madeira Promotions Bureau, La Palma Tourism, Valentin Hotels and Resorts, Alegria Hotels , Vincci Hotels, Invisa Hotels and Blau Hotels – gave away a prize, including hotel stays of up to seven nights.
The main sponsor of last month’s Spain and Portugal roadshows was VIK Gran Hotel Costa del Sol.
For agents who didn’t attend, here’s a short round-up of why VIK Gran Hotel Costa del Sol is a great choice for clients:
Situated in one of the most popular destinations among Brits, VIK Gran Hotel Costa del Sol has direct access to the beach.
There’s a varied menu of Spanish and international cuisine that changes regularly and a wide variety at the buffet.
The hotel has 300 rooms and two suites, all with a terrace and fantastic views.
There are child-friendly menus, accessible and safe facilities as well as comfortable, spacious family rooms.
Facilities are accessible to people with reduced mobility and staff are available to help if required.
The hotel’s Chill-Out Terrace is a space to escape and enjoy a cocktail from the extensive menu at any time of the day, with night shows after the sun has gone down.
Club members get early check-in and late check-out as well as room upgrades and priority assignment, among other benefits.

More roadshows will take place this year, with Youtravel and partners representing Turkey and North Africa visiting London, Maidstone and Chelmsford in May and suppliers representing the UAE and long haul destinations visiting Shrewsbury, Altrincham and Harrogate in September.
