INTRODUCTION
Families come in all shapes and sizes – and so do
their holidays.
Whether it’s a laidback beach break, an action-packed
city stay or an exotic jungle trek, this definitely isn’t
one size fits all territory.
But just like all the best children’s stories, family
trips must have one thing in common – a happy
ending and a trail of joyful memories along the way.
As parents, there are few things more thrilling than
exploring the world and seeing it through the wideeyed wonderment of our children, and there
is nowhere better to start such a journey than at
the Family Travel Show – the ideal launch pad from
which to plan such trips.
This year’s Family Travel Show returns to Olympia
on 1 - 2 October 2016, bigger and better than before
with a larger venue, more attractions, and new
show features.
Families can explore new holiday destinations, dip
a toe into the world of cruising or go wild and plan
a safari. They can choose from luxury hotels, rustic
rainforest retreats and swanky all-inclusive resorts –
and all under one roof.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Family holidays have never been so popular and as families
become better-travelled, so their demand for knowledge,
inspiration and insightful guidance grows ever higher.
There are more types of child-friendly holidays than ever before,
and the Family Travel Show showcases them in a lively, fun
environment where companies can connect, engage – and
most importantly - do business with visiting families keen to
gather ideas and book their next holiday.
MailOnline is the world’s largest English-language newspaper
website with averages at a staggering 14.2m global browsers per
day. Editorial excellence, dynamic, addictive content and a highly
pictorial, easily navigable format underlie MailOnline’s popularity
– with Fashion Beauty & Lifestyle reaching over 930,000 daily
browsers across Femail.
By bringing together the disparate range of travel products in
this ever-growing sector, the Family Travel Show not only attracts
an audience of affluent families, but gives family travel firms a
stronger voice with which to speak to them.
Weekend magazine is read by 4.1 million people every week and
with 2.6 million ABC1 readers makes it the highest-read weekend
supplement in that audience segment.
The Mail on Sunday’s You magazine is the original and best
national press women’s magazine. It delivers considerably
more readers than any other mid-market or quality weekend
supplement or women’s magazine.

WHAT’S ON AT THE SHOW
WHO WILL VISIT
The Family Travel Show will educate and inspire visitors with its
impressive choice of features guaranteed to engage the entire
family when it comes to planning their next trip.
Bouncing Babies to Toddlers On The Go:
For some parents, travelling with babies and toddlers can be
the ultimate challenge, particularly for first-timers. Don’t be afraid!
It may seem daunting, but with careful planning and by choosing
the right resorts that cater for little ‘uns, it can be a breeze. Sure,
there will be challenges, but travelling with children who haven’t
yet started school comes with its own advantages.
We aim to cover all family holiday options with the following
range of talks and services:
The Travel Theatre
Family travel experts, adventurers, journalists and celebrities, who
have travelled extensively with their children, will take to the stage
in our headline theatre with informative talks and panel sessions.
Small Steps Crèche
Parents can take advantage of this pre-bookable drop-in crèche
which is free of charge and available for youngsters from 17 weeks
to eight years. It is just the thing to give parents peace of mind to
enjoy the show, knowing their offspring are being cared for by the
experienced childcare team.
Around The World Theatre
These talks are perfect for those with itchy feet who want to
discover new destinations, cultures and experiences with their
babies, toddlers or teens.
Climbing Zone
Young and old visitors can have a go; kids can challenge dad and
see who will make it to the top first. But all ages can learn how to
climb under safe instruction from expert climbers.
Kids On Holiday – Fashion Show
Kids On The Move:
There are a whole heap of holiday options for under-10s.
Choose from large hotels and resorts to the growing number
of cruise ships that cater for families with imaginative kids clubs
geared to different age groups, a challenging choice of sporting
activities and a host of water play diversions.
Tweens and Teens – Ready for Rip-Roaring Fun:
Have no fear when it comes to letting older children have
their freedom and, at the same time, ensuring that demanding
teenagers are kept entertained. With such a wide and varied
choice of exciting holidays, there’s no chance of hearing that
dreaded teenage refrain “I’m bored” as they indulge their sense
of adventure.
Multi-Generational Holidays:
Keeping all ages happy on holidays away is as simple as 1,2,3
when it comes to tri-generational trips for grandparents, parents
and children. Quality time together is key when choosing where
to go, and with the growing choice of options available, it’s not
surprising that more generations are choosing to holiday together.
Take a look at the latest travel style trends and let label-conscious
tweens and teens take their pick of the best designs to go exploring in.
Explorers’ Corner
Budding adventurers can let their imaginations run riot in this
haven with its collection of maps, books, globes, charts and
navigational aids – all designed to help young explorers get off the
beaten track.
Holiday Photo Booth
Families can pose for the perfect holiday snap in the Photo Booth
feature, which promises to be a massive hit with its selection of
fun backdrops and extensive props box.
Games Room
Kids can hang out in the Games Room while mum and dad book
the holiday. Here, youngsters can play competitive games of table
tennis and football or try their hand at arcade games.
GET SNAPPING - AGAIN - FOR 2016
It’s time to grab your camera and take that perfect picture.
After the incredible success of the Young Travel Photographers
Competition, we are running it again in 2016.
This exciting photography competition has one simple aim –
to celebrate the skill of young travel photographers as they capture
the highlights of their adventures around the world with their families.
From quirky signs and bustling markets to awe-inspiring
landscapes and amazing architecture – we look forward to
seeing the whole range of intriguing images through the eyes
of budding young snappers!
There are two age categories: 11 & Under and 12-17 years,
and the winner of each category will be awarded an amazing
prize by our sponsors.
Winning images and further selected photographs will also
be given pride of place in the Young Travel Photographers Exhibition
at the Family Travel Show, Olympia London on October 1-2, 2016.
More details and 2016 launch information will be available
shortly at www.youngtravelphotographers.com

MARKETING CAMPAIGN
A programme of promotional activities for the Family Travel
Show will be carefully planned and precisely executed to ensure
this event attracts a high-quality audience of discerning families.
The show is supported by a heavyweight, multi-media
advertising and marketing campaign, consisting of TV, radio,
national newspapers, regional newspapers, specialist cruise and
travel magazines, consumer lifestyle titles, parenting websites,
outdoor advertising, online and direct marketing.
In addition to the advertising and marketing campaign, a
dedicated PR campaign will be run in the lead-up to the Family
Travel Show to highlight, showcase and promote family travel
to the media, giving sponsors and exhibitors valuable pre-show
exposure.
Newspaper Advertising: A comprehensive advertising and
promotional campaign with our official media partners in the
Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday. Mail readers are enthusiastic
travellers - an affluent audience – they are knowledgeable about
travel, always looking to get away and keen to share opinions! In
addition we will also be promoting the show within relevant free
daily newspapers, targeting the all-important commuter audience.
Radio Advertising: On air advertising campaign with the UK’s
leading commercial radio brand. Heart London attracts close to
2 million listeners every week.
FREE tickets for your clients: All exhibitors will receive an
allocation of complimentary invitations for their clients to visit
the Family Travel Show. The invitation will be personalised to
include your company logo with one main image – we will print
these for you and you can also have it as a downloadable PDF
document.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: The borough
has a higher proportion of high earners than any other local
government district in the country. Bordering with the City
of Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham, it has the highest
proportion of workers in the financial sector. Olympia’s
catchment area also has the highest concentration of multimillion pound family homes in London, which we will target with
a bespoke DM campaign.
Travel and Consumer Lifestyle Media Advertising: A long-lead
advertising campaign starting 4-months prior to the show to
feature in relevant travel and consumer lifestyle magazines with
an emphasis on targeting parents and families.
