Founded in 2006, Blueprint Travel Media is a specialist business-to-business publishing company dedicated to producing authoritative reference publications for the travel trade.
With nearly two decades of experience, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner to travel trade organisations, tourism bodies and industry associations across the UK. Our focus is simple: to deliver high-quality, commercially successful publications that inform, inspire and connect the group travel market.
Our Flagship Publication
Each year, we publish The Blueprint Guide to Group Travel in collaboration with the Association for Group Travel Organisers (AGTO). Widely recognised as the most comprehensive reference resource for group travel organisers and coach and tour operators, the Guide provides accurate, up-to-date industry information in both print and digital formats.
The publication is distributed free of charge to GTOs and operators, including members of AGTO, the Coach Tourism Association (CTA) and the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) — ensuring it reaches the most active decision-makers in the sector.
