Événements
From focused industry gatherings to flagship awards and consumer festivals, Inspire Global creates events where people meet with a clear reason to connect.
Bringing our Community together
Events are where the Inspire Global Community comes to life. We create opportunities for tourism, media and consumers to meet in environments designed around a particular audience and purpose, whether that means developing new industry relationships, encouraging more meaningful storytelling, recognising positive impact or inspiring people to experience the world differently.
Our flagship events each have their own identity and dedicated website, while our smaller gatherings allow us to respond to particular destinations, regions, themes and opportunities.
Our flagship events
Festival du voyage de Cheltenham
Cheltenham Travel Festival is a one-day celebration of travel, culture, adventure and global experiences, bringing together travellers, destinations, tourism businesses, experts, photographers and storytellers.
Visitors can discover new places and experiences, speak directly with knowledgeable travel specialists and enjoy a programme of talks, photography and cultural inspiration designed to encourage more curious and meaningful travel.
Media Marketplace & Awards
The Inspire Global Media Marketplace & Awards brings destinations and tourism brands together with trusted travel journalists, editors, broadcasters, photographers and established digital creators.
Through pre-scheduled meetings, shared learning and informal conversation, the Marketplace creates space for stronger editorial relationships and more thoughtful travel storytelling. The Media Awards complement those conversations by recognising journalism and creative work that inspires purposeful travel, deepens understanding and demonstrates tourism’s potential to create positive impact.
Tourism Reception & Awards
The Inspire Global Tourism Awards recognise the specialist tour operators, tourism businesses and changemakers demonstrating deep regional expertise, creating inspiring travel experiences and delivering meaningful positive impact.
The accompanying Industry Reception brings senior members of the tourism community together for thought leadership, shared learning and valuable conversation, creating an opportunity to recognise achievement while exploring the ideas and leadership shaping the future of tourism.
Curated industry gatherings
Some of the most valuable industry conversations take place in smaller settings, where participants have the time and space to listen, exchange ideas and develop relationships naturally.
Alongside our flagship events, Inspire Global creates carefully focused gatherings for destinations, tourism businesses, buyers, media and industry leaders. These may be scheduled around a particular region, audience or opportunity, or developed in response to a partner’s objectives.
Industry Breakfasts – Focused morning gatherings that bring relevant industry professionals together to explore a destination, market, theme or shared opportunity through informed and purposeful conversation.
Leadership Lunches – Smaller, invitation-led lunches that give senior tourism leaders the opportunity to exchange perspectives, discuss current challenges and build relationships in a more private setting.
Destination and Product Updates – Carefully curated briefings and networking events that allow destinations to share developments, stories and priorities with the trade or media audiences most relevant to them. These gatherings are often communicated directly to suitable members rather than promoted through a permanent public calendar. Joining the Inspire Global Community helps us understand your interests and keep you informed when a relevant opportunity arises.
If you represent a destination or organisation and would like to discuss creating or supporting a focused industry gathering, we would be pleased to hear what you have in mind.
Find the right event for you
Whether you are looking to develop new industry relationships, meet trusted travel media, celebrate positive impact or inspire travellers directly, each Inspire Global event provides a different way to participate.
