Granite Travel Trade Expos is expanding to Atlantic Canada
After an exciting 2024 season that saw more than 1,400 agents and 55 suppliers attend shows across Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba, The Granite Travel Trade Expos have an announced an expansion for 2025 that will see more Expos in existing markets and launch in Atlantic Canada.
The Atlantic Canada expansion marks a significant step in growing the Granite Travel Trade Expos’ reach across the country which will now be in 15 markets.
Vendor registration now open
Vendor registration is open and can be accessed at www.granitetravelexpos.com. Limited presentation positions are available.
Registration for agents will open one month before each Expo.
“We launched our Granite Travel Trade Expos back in 2023 because we knew there was a need to connect suppliers with agents in smaller markets that are typically underserved by the larger, traditional trade shows,” said Bradley Dean, partner, Granite Productions in Oakville. “The reaction we’ve received has been incredible which is why we are expanding in the provinces we’re already in and coming out to the East Coast.”
The Granite Travel Trade Expos proved to be another fantastic opportunity for suppliers to connect with agents in smaller markets in Ontario, Manitoba and BC. The series of 2024 Expos drew their largest number to date of suppliers and over 1300 agents hungry for product information and building relationships.
About the Expos
