About

Great West Way® Travel Trade Marketplace 2026 is a hybrid event with a virtual meeting day on Tuesday 22 September followed by an in-person networking day on Friday 25 September at Brunel's SS Great Britain in Bristol.

This event will bring together tour operators and wholesalers with products and services that feature on the Great West Way route, including destinations attractions, hotels, transport, ground handlers and other sectors of the route’s tourism infrastructure.

The aim of the event is to facilitate relationships between tourism businesses and destinations to meet buyers who are interested in contracting and developing new Great West Way programmes to market and distribute to their customers.

This event is an established one in the calendar with the in-person event changing each year to showcase different businesses and destinations along the Great West Way route from Bristol to London.
