2025 was another very successful year for your Institute. Membership increased by almost 20% and all our events continued to be well supported.

We had a wonderful Conference in Sardinia, with a new moderator, Baroness Ayesha Hazarika, and some unforgettable speakers. Once again, we raised funds for Alder Hey Children’s Charity.

Our Future You programme continued to develop with over 250 students attending our Roadshow at Leeds Beckett University. We also launched our Speakers for Schools programme aimed at sixth formers.

We were very grateful to Doug and Ruth Wardle for their wonderfully generous bursary which will enable student members of ITT to attend our overseas Conference.

This year we introduced our new networking event, Debate ITT, with over 150 Members attending our first three events. We also held Network ITT events in Manchester and Birmingham. As always, the ITT Lounge at WTM proved enormously popular.

Next year is a particularly special year as ITT celebrates its 70th anniversary! We will be marking this milestone with a special 70th anniversary celebration. Look out for further details coming soon.

Our Conference in Malaga looks like breaking all records, with registrations already surpassing our expectations. The speaker line-up will include representatives from Hays Travel, Barrhead Travel, TUI, Railbookers, Gold Medal, G Adventures, Saudi Tourism, and MSC Cruises.
