Travel Connection Group proudly presents the return of the TravYule festive gathering, incorporating The Baubles.
Held in partnership with Clermont Hotel Group, this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever before!
Zoom Out meets Christmas… jingle all the way!
Join us at The Cumberland Hotel, London in London on Tuesday 8th December 2026
What better way to spend a December Tuesday evening than networking with travel professionals and journalists – all with a sprinkling of festive spirit?!
It’ll be beginning to look a lot like Christmas in London and we look forward to celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with you.
Held in partnership with Clermont Hotel Group, this year’s event will be closer to The Big Day, ensuring nobody can say it’s too early to celebrate Christmas!
As well as a fun night spent with friends and colleagues, we will also hand out The Baubles to some deserving recipients in specific categories, all nominated by friends and colleagues….and there will be plenty of Terry’s Chocolate Oranges!
We will have plenty of entertainment on the night, including Andy Jamieson, our roving magician, Ignite Images will be back with their AI photos for you to make memories of the evening, and there will be an opportunity to sing along to some Christmas classics.
Plus, we will be hoping to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity, Hope and Homes for Children
We will also have someone special hosting the awards!
So book your sleigh ride into town—we’ll deck the halls, provide the mistletoe and wine, and you can join us to hear who has won The Baubles this year!

Together, these elements make The Cumberland Hotel a destination in its own right: where icons stay.
Hope and Homes for Children
Each year, we raise money for a charity. The charity must be connected to children. This year, we will be raising money for Hope and Homes for Children
Hope and Homes for Children works to end the institutionalisation of children worldwide by closing orphanages and helping children grow up in safe, loving families instead.
The charity supports vulnerable families to stay together, helps place children into family-based care, and works with governments to reform child protection systems so that no child grows up without the love and security of a family.
Hope and Homes for Children raise awareness of the harm caused by orphanage tourism and some forms of volunteer travel, helping promote more ethical ways for travellers to support children and communities around the world.
If you’d like to know more about the harm orphanage tourism can do, and what you can do to travel ethically, please read their guide for volunteers and travellers.
And here’s a recent and very relevant article from Nick Hewer, one of the charity’s most committed celebrity supporters.
If you’re joining us at TravYule, please consider adding a voluntary £20 donation (or any amount) to your ticket purchase.
Oh, come, all ye…
Travel professionals and journalists!
TravYule is about celebrating everything the travel industry has achieved in the previous year. In normal TCG style, it’ll be lighthearted, filled with great people and a chance to enjoy some seasonal cheer in central London at the start of the festive season.
In addition to great networking, we’ll be hosting The Baubles to recognise some of the amazing contributors to our industry who often go unnoticed.
Who will be there?
This event is open to anyone from the travel industry, particularly travel media and PR professionals.
Whether you’ve attended Media Getaway, a Travel PR Association event, a previous TravYule or haven’t experienced a TCG event yet – you are most welcome to attend.
In advance of the event, you will be able to see who else is coming, so you can plan who to buy gifts for 😉
We haven’t confirmed yet if Santa Claus will be coming to town that night, so you’d better watch out!
How much does it cost?
It’ll be a Blue Christmas without you – so we’re making this event as affordable as possible.
Tickets are £150 (with a 20% discount available for those shortlisted for a Bauble), or £100 for Travel PR Association members.
Media pay £30, or it’s free if you’re shortlisted for a Bauble!
