Hays Travel is combining Hays Travel Independence Group and homeworking divisions for its 2026 conference in Turkey.
The UK’s largest travel agency group is working with long-term partner Tui as headline sponsor.
An expected 1,100 delegates from across the Hays Travel group will meet in Turkey’s Trendy Lara and Trendy Perge hotels in Antalya.
Delegates will include managers from all Hays Travel and brands’ branches, head office colleagues, plus members from Hays Travel Independence Group and homeworking divisions.
All will be together to hear the latest industry updates and insight from board members, supplier partners and keynote speakers.
Chief operating officer Jonathon Woodall-Johnston said: “We were delighted to be able to announce the location of next year’s conference to all our retail managers, head office colleagues, and supplier partners at this year’s overseas conference.
“For the first time, in 2026 we will address all colleagues and members of our group together.
“As Hays Travel has grown, we now think it vital to communicate with our whole group as one audience.”
Tui UK & Ireland marketing and sales director Bart Quinton Smith said: “The time is right for us to extend our long-held partnership with Hays Travel to being a headline sponsor for the very first time.
“This is likely to be the largest overseas conference of 2026, giving us the opportunity to engage with a huge room of skilled and enthusiastic agents.
“It’s a unique opportunity for us to showcase our breadth of product, curation and service at Tui, share our vision for the future, and deepen connections with thousands of passionate agents who play a vital role in delivering unforgettable holidays for customers.”
