BACK for the fourth consecutive year, Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show takes place 15-18 January 2015 at Manchester’s EventCity.
This year’s show, the north’s biggest travel exhibition, is set to be even more spectacular, with over 150 exhibitors showcasing hot new destinations, trends, up to date travel information and holiday offers, all in one place. The celebrity line-up includes adventurer and TV presenter Charley Boorman, and author, cook and TV presenter Martin Dorey, along with Simon Reeve (above), whose impressive three-part BBC-2 series Sacred Rivers has just finished.
Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show 2015 will feature a brand new Visit USA Pavilion, housing the largest selection of specialist tour operators and tourist boards dedicated to the region. Participating partners include Alabama, Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky and more.
Visitors will also be able to:
· Watch celebrity chefs and TV travel personalities come together to prepare their favourite international dishes at the Food & Travel Stage.
· Head to the Meet the Experts Theatres for travel advice and information in an intimate setting
· See incredible images in the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year Gallery, the UK’s biggest amateur travel photography competition.
