The Group Leisure & Travel Awards ceremony returned for its first live/in-person event in three years, to recognise the best destinations, attractions, accommodation, experiences and providers for the group travel industry, as voted for by active travel organisers from sports and social clubs, retired associations, special-interest societies, and other groups.

As our industry recovers from the pandemic, this award is really good news. Travellers nowadays have tremendous choice, which makes it more important than ever for us to ensure the island of Ireland stands out from other destinations.”
