Group Leisure & Travel magazine
Read by key people organising thousands of trips and holidays for millions of people
What is it? Group Leisure & Travel is the UK’s number one magazine for people who organise group trips and holidays.
What’s its frequency? It is the only A4 publication in the market and is published ten times per year providing expert coverage and targeted marketing opportunities for you.
What is its target market? Group Leisure & Travel is received in print and digital by thousands of readers representing over 1.6 million people. We’re talking active GTOs and coach tour operators who organise all types of days out, theatre trips, short breaks and holidays for groups of people in the UK, Europe and to exciting long haul destinations.
Who actually receives the magazine? Group travel organisers (GTOs) working full time in this position, part-time or as volunteers in their spare time. We also reach the major coach operators that offer coach tours and holidays.
Readers include GTOs from sports and social clubs and such organisations as John Lewis, Tesco, BT, major banks, the Post Office, NHS and the Public Services. We also target active leisure groups from societies and clubs such as the Conservative Club, Labour Clubs, University of the 3rd Age, Royal Legion, Women’s Institute, PROBUS, Community Centres, Village Associations, Pensioner Groups, Active Retirement Associations and all types of special interest groups.
Group Leisure & Travel is so packed with wonderful trips, great ideas and so much to read, see and do. A good number of places we have booked already – thanks to your ideas, but you have so many that we could easily fill another 12 months of trips. Each time your magazine comes through the letterbox I make a shortlist. The problem is the shortlist is becoming a BIG list! Thank you so much for all the work you and the team do. Groups would be struggling without your magazine and its ideas.

...and many many more.

“In almost two decades of working with Group Leisure and Travel Magazine, I have always found the magazine and its events to be the most professional and well informed of the travel trade world. They are a great support to any new products and services we wish to launch and as a business have continued to adapt to the constant changes and challenges the industry has faced over the years.

“As part of our overall strategy we feel it is important to have a regular presence in Group Leisure & Travel magazine. It is always easy to work with the Group Leisure & Travel team and agree our budget for the year ahead. They will often have new ideas and options we had not considered. It is not always about direct results in the groups market, but about building relationships and having a constant presence which we feel we achieve by featuring regularly. We are excited to see what the new website brings and what opportunities there may be to feature on it, once we have our new budget in place!”
Ellen Walker,
Business Development Manager – Travel Editions Group Ltd
