Destinations

Destinations Travel Show

Just a fortnight after the Adventure Travel Show, I was once again back in London to exhibit at the Destinations Show at Kensington Olympa on the Karakoram Jeep Trek International stand. There are several conference centres on site and one of them has a marvellous Art Deco style facade.

But Destinations this year was being held in the main hall which stands high above its brick facade which faces the Underground station.

 Its a vast open space but light and airy with plenty of space. It looks empty as this was before opening time but between 11am and 3pm those aisles are choked with visitors squeezing past each other, visiting stands, collecting brochures and ideas for their next holiday.

Both shows are great places to meet up with friends and fellow travel providers and check out new travel plans. I booked at teh shows, taking advantage of show discounts so I plan over the next eighteen months to traval through northern Asia from London to Nepal via the Pamir Highway in Tadjikistan, visit Everest base camp and return via India, Pakistan and Iran. Also booked is a trip across the Saudi Peninsular from Jordan, through Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman, and further trips around both New Zealand and Australia...and after that? I don't know yet but I will break the return journey from Australia with a trip to somewhere!
