The Elite Travel Group will host its 2019 conference in Cyprus.

Hundreds of agent members will head to the Asimina Suites Hotel in Paphos for all the latest updates from the Midlands-based consortium.

The conference will be held from 29 November to 2 December featuring an “updated format” for 2019.

Headline sponsors include Kuoni, Royal Caribbean International, Turkish Airlines, Funway Holidays and Constantinou Bros Hotels.

“We are delighted to announce the dates and venue for our 2019 conference,” said general manager John Escott.

“It is a great opportunity for Elite Travel Group members and our suppliers to all come together in the wonderful resort of Paphos.

“We have an exciting and informative few days planned and are pleased to announce this year’s conference will have an updated format to ensure members and suppliers gain the maximum benefit from their few days together.”

Of the changes for 2019, Escott told TTG that while Elite was still finalising the format, the conference would feature a greater focus on breakout sessions and agent-supplier interaction.

"Our plan is to not have one big stage as a central point for the whole conference, but arrange more breakout sessions in smaller rooms so there is more interaction and involvement," he said.

"We also want to ensure the content is relevant to members’ businesses so they find the various sessions beneficial. The workshop session has also been extended so the members spend more time with each of the suppliers taking part."

Elite’s 2018 conference was held in Granada, Spain, where it announced it was introducing homeworking options for members.
