As Tipto wraps up its Face2Face events for another year, figures reveal a record-breaking number of agents have joined its supplier members at 35 training events during the year. Across the 31 roadshow and four SuperShow events held in Y27, 2,037 agents – Tipto’s highest-ever attendance total – have joined 26 suppliers to boost their knowledge and improve their sales conversions. Year 27 has also seen an increase in homeworkers attending events, who now make up 48% of total attendees (previously 42%), and more than half of attendees are completely new to Tipto (55%; previously 48%).

In addition to the core roadshow and SuperShow schedule, Tipto also partnered with supplier member Ambassador Cruise Line, to execute two exclusive onboard lunches across two nationwide locations. A total of 84 agents attended these two events at Liverpool Cruise Terminal and London’s Tilbury Port.

All Tipto events offer agents the opportunity to pick up the sales tips needed to successfully convert client enquiries into confirmed bookings, these figures show Tipto’s continued growth year on year and support its position as an important resource for the UK and Irish travel trade.

And the proof of success is in Tipto’s testimonial feedback, which demonstrates exactly how the event set up fuels sales for those that implement their learnings. Danny W, Charter Travel attended Tipto’s Newbury event and said: “I made my first booking with Exoticca – an £11,000 trip to the Galapagos!”

Debbie, Plan Your World added: “Since returning from Tilbury, I have made my first Ambassador booking! It's a fantastic Fjords cruise for 2027, with our clients travelling in a suite.”

Plus, agents are widening their operator contact base, meeting new suppliers and converting new booking enquiries: “It was lovely speaking with Graham from Travelpack at Tipto Nottingham. His tip on the availability they had further out, helped me with a fantastic booking worth £18,000. My first with Travelpack too!"
