A North East travel group are set to host a holiday and cruise show at the Stadium of Light at the end of the month.
Hays Travel are set to hold the event on April 28 where major land and cruise holiday suppliers will gather at the Sunderland Stadium between 10am and 3pm.
Members of the public will be able to speak with them throughout the day, attend free talks on new travel destinations, learn about the latest cruise ships or hotels, and get a peek at the itineraries for 2024 and even 2025.
Hays’ agents and operators at the event will also share advice on how people can find the right holiday for them when considering their needs and budget.
Dame Irene Hays said: “We have held similar events for our customers around the UK, so we are excited to be hosting our first holiday and cruise show here in Sunderland, where we are proud to be headquartered.
“We know that new and longstanding customers enjoy meeting suppliers and finding out about the latest holiday destinations and cruise sailings.
“There is so much choice now that it can seem overwhelming, so this day allows holidaymakers to explore their options and talk to operators and agents, all under one roof.
