Granite Travel Trade Expos Return for 2026

Following a strong launch in Atlantic Canada in 2025, the Granite Travel Trade Expos are set to return to the region in 2026, kicking off in St. John’s, NL. on May 25. The Expos will then head to Halifax, NS on May 27 before wrapping up in Moncton, NB on May 28.

Now in its third year, the Granite Travel Trade Expos are regional travel industry events designed to connect top-producing travel agents with key suppliers in the communities where they do business. They are being praised for bringing vital exposure to agents in smaller markets that are often underserved.

Each event featured interactive, in-person consultations and presentations. Hosted by industry favourite Sal Buccellato, the events included a series of 15-minute supplier presentations, followed by a trade show, dinner, and prize giveaways.

“We knew the Expos would perform well in Atlantic Canada, just as they had in other markets across the country, but they really exceeded our expectations and we’re excited to be coming back,” said Bradley Dean, Granite Productions. “Agents spoke and we listened; they love the face to face opportunities to interact with suppliers in a much more intimate experience than some of the larger shows.”

The Granite Travel Trade Expos are now gearing up for the Spring 2026 shows kicking off in London, ON: April 13, 2026. Supplier participation is limited to 36 suppliers per Expo.  New and returning suppliers include: Sponsors Bahia Principe Hotels and Resorts, Princess Hotels & Resorts and St Kitts Tourism Authority some suppliers  include Amstel Safaris (U) Limited, Catalonia Hotels & Resorts, Collette, Cuba Tourist Board, Exodus Adventure Travels, Iberostar, Lomas Hospitality, Globus, Nassau & Paradise Island, Oasis Hotels & Resorts, Royalton Hotels and Resorts, Sandos Hotels & Resorts, Sirenis Hotels & Resorts, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Sunwing Vacations, Swan Hellenic, The Special Travel Corporation, TC/Trafalgar Tours, Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, Visit Central Florida, Visit Myrtle Beach, Visit Orlando.
