Exhibition Stands | Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show

Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show is the UK’s largest and longest running consumer travel event. Held in collaboration with The Times and The Sunday Times, the show took place between the 29th of January and the 1st of February this year and featured expert speakers like Sir Michael Palin, Simon Calder and Race Across The World Contestants Brian and Melvyn Mole.

Bringing in over 600 travel brands, 80,000+ visitors and 90+ tourist boards from around the world, the show functions as a key platform for consumer engagement, providing unmatched face-to-face marketing opportunities. So, a bold and memorable show presence is vital to your success.

Quadrant2Design had two clients at Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show 2026 , Journey Latin America and new client, RouteTrip USA.

The stands, although very different, had one thing in common: great design.

New client to Quadrant2Design, RouteTrip USA, came to us for a stand design late last year. The team, comprised of multi-award-winning travel experts, creates unforgettable, bespoke self-drive road trips across Canada and USA.

The stand was designed to reflect the brand in every way. A powerful stand for a powerful brand.

The 4.5m x 4.5m corner exhibition stand, with features like high-level branding and the famous Quadrant2Design photo-floor, made use of the space available, creating a professional and complete look.

High-level branding helped with visibility, towering over neighbouring stands, while the photo-floor extended branding right down to the floor, fully achieving the 100% graphic look.

For this show, the RouteTrip USA team incorporated a particularly unique feature on their stand, using backlighting to illuminate Polaroids of the locations they operate within. Not only was this right on brand, but it also added visual interest to the stand.

The custom poll feature added an interactive aspect to the design. Having a feature where clients are able to interact with the stand, creating a memorable and thought-provoking experience, is a great way to convert a simple conversation into a true lead.

List of features found on this stand:

• High-level branding
• AV display
• Illuminated canopy with walkthrough feature
• Illuminated showcases for literature display
• Backlit icons
• Branded counter
• Custom interactive polling feature
• Storage area
• Quadrant2Design photo-floor

Journey Latin America, who have exhibited with us since 2024, are the UK’s No.1 specialist in travel to Central and South America. Their friendly travel experts have in-depth knowledge of the region and a passion for sharing it with the world, so, when designing the stand last year, we wanted to make sure it reflected this.

The bright 9.5m x 5m peninsula exhibition stand creates a welcoming and friendly atmosphere through the open design and the lively blue and cream colours used. The graphics showcase beautiful imagery of Central and South America, further grasping the visitor’s attention and interest.

The branded counter with integrated tablet holders makes a perfect area for clients to create holiday itineraries, directly from the show. The open meeting area gives the Journey Latin America team a clear space to laisse with potential customers about their services and share their expert travel advice.
