Registration for this year’s ABTA Travel Convention has opened, with delegates able to save 20% on registration fees if they register in the next four weeks.

ABTA’s annual Travel Convention is the UK travel industry’s flagship event, designed to connect senior leaders with an opportunity to influence the future of the sector with real, informed, intelligent insights. Industry leaders, and world-class guest speakers from beyond the sector, will offer fresh thinking and sharp perspectives to strengthen strategic decision-making and prepare the industry for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Delegates will gain useful time away from the everyday to connect with their peers and around 25 travel journalists from national, consumer and trade media, in a wide range of business sessions and social settings.

Taking place from 12-14 October in Funchal, Madeira, at the 5-star Savoy Palace Hotel, this year’s event is hosted by Visit Portugal and Visit Madeira and will allow delegates to explore this beautiful archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean. It offers Convention delegates a rich history and culture, and a wide range of places and activities to enjoy pre and post event with its subtropical climate, rugged mountains, lush forests and beautiful coastlines.

Funchal is readily accessible, with direct flights available from several airports in London and Manchester to Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport, which is about 20 minutes from the venue.

The 2026 Travel Convention is once again supported by Lead Partner easyJet holidays, plus Headline Partner Intrepid Travel.
