Global Independent Travel Centre celebrates 15 years in business and once again has been named one of the best in the UK and Ireland.
Global Independent Travel Centre is celebrating 15 years in business. The travel agent based in Clevedon, North Somerset marked the occasion with a Holiday Show. The event, which took place on Sunday 28 April, was supported by more than 25 travel suppliers who each had a stand showcasing their products. The North Somerset Holiday & Cruise Show at Doubletree by Hilton Cadbury House was free to enter and attracted over 300 people on the day.
Members of the public were able to meet directly with sales representatives from Cunard, P&O, Riviera, Sandals, Inghams, Wendy Wu, Celebrity Cruises, NCL Cruises and more!
As part of the 15-year celebrations there was complimentary birthday cake and refreshments, a charity raffle, exclusive travel talks, special offers and a chance to win a holiday voucher. Plus, wine lovers were given the chance to guess which country selected wines originated from with a wine tasting stand.
Live booking stations were also set up with several bookings made on the day.
Lisa, Managing Director at Global Independent Travel Centre said “We’re incredibly proud to be celebrating 15 years in business—a journey made possible by our loyal clients, dedicated team, and trusted partners. This past week has been especially meaningful, with a successful holiday show and the tremendous honour of being named one of the top 50 travel agencies in the UK. It’s a true testament to our commitment to exceptional service and unforgettable travel experiences. Here’s to the next chapter!”
Global Independent Travel earned one of 50 places in the TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies 2025: an annual power-list of the nation’s best agents by industry bible, Travel Trade
Gazette. The Top 50 judging process sees agencies thoroughly grilled around their customer service standards, their product expertise and training, their business innovation, and
how they care for their team, the planet, and their local community.
TTG editorial director Pippa Jacks said: “Now in its ninth year, our TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies programme sees us tour the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland to find
those travel agents who have worked smartest, provided the best customer service, and done most to contribute to a fairer travel industry, in the last year.” “With many of our finalists enjoying turnover growth and team expansion last year, it’s clear the travel agent is here to stay – and that holidaymakers are valuing the expertise and personalised care offered by agents, as well as their community spirit, more than ever before.”
The TTG Top 50 ceremony took place at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on Thursday 24 April, with more than 500 of the UK and Ireland’s top travel agents and supplier-partners in attendance. Find more about TTG’s Top 50 Travel Agencies initiative at ttgtop50.com and by searching #ttgtop50
