British Tourism & Travel Show 2027 at NEC Birmingham

The British Tourism & Travel Show is back at Birmingham's NEC on Thursday 11 March 2027, offering a packed day for anyone involved in planning group travel. Running 9:30am to 4:30pm in Hall 8, the show welcomes over 200 exhibitors representing destinations, attractions, accommodation providers and experiences from across Britain and Ireland. On the show floor, coach operators, group travel organisers, tour operators and travel agents can compare suppliers side by side and pick up fresh ideas for future itineraries — from heritage railways and historic houses to hotel groups, tourist boards and transport providers. Expert-led sessions in the Theatre cover the latest tourism and travel insights, while dedicated networking spaces make it easy to meet the teams behind the brands. For those travelling in, the NEC sits minutes from Birmingham International rail station and Birmingham Airport via the free air-rail link, with accessible parking, regular coach connections and on-site cafés. Booking accommodation near the NEC and Marston Green early is strongly advised, as local hotels fill quickly around major trade events at the venue.
