Building connections and confidence: Inside our two-day Touring Takeover Event

At Travel Counsellors, we know that knowledge, connection, and confidence are key ingredients to running a successful travel business. That’s why we go above and beyond to invest in our Travel Counsellors - not only with cutting-edge technology and wraparound support, but also with regular in-person events that educate, inspire, and strengthen our community.

Earlier this week, we hosted our two-day Touring Takeover Event at the beautiful Clermont Hotel in Charing Cross, London - and what an incredible two days it was!

Over 40 Travel Counsellors from across the UK came together to deepen their expertise in the ever-growing world of adventure and touring travel. With industry demand for experiential travel booming, this event was designed to give our Travel Counsellors a competitive edge - helping them match the right customers with the right suppliers, and ultimately, grow their business with confidence.

Day One: Supplier Speed Dating & Sunset Celebrations The event kicked off with dynamic “speed dating” sessions, where Travel Counsellors met face-to-face with a wide range of touring suppliers to learn about products, ask questions and build relationships. The day wrapped up with a memorable evening on the London Eye - complete with champagne, canapés and plenty of sunshine.

Day Two: Product Insights & Practical Workshops The next day featured engaging presentations from suppliers followed by a hands-on workshop, where Travel Counsellors worked in teams with suppliers to match adventure and touring products to customer profiles - helping them translate their new knowledge into real-world selling confidence.

As Travel Counsellor Daragh Hanafin put it: “I’ve come away from it all feeling revitalised. My head is full of ideas and thoughts of things I want to do - all with the intention of growing myself and my business.”

Events like these are just one example of how we invest in our people. Whether through product training, business coaching, or building supplier connections, our goal is to help every Travel Counsellor grow a thriving business.

Our exclusive training events, strong supplier relationships, and supportive community are all part of what makes the Travel Counsellors difference. Want to learn more?
