Established in 2006, BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA is a business-to-business publishing company that specialises in producing reference publications for the travel trade.
 

Every January we publish THE BLUEPRINT GUIDE TO GROUP TRAVEL in co-operation with the Association of Group Travel Organisers (AGTO). Now widely recognised as the most comprehensive source of reference for group travel organisers and coach/tour operators, THE BLUEPRINT GUIDE is designed to work alongside this website to provide anyone involved in organising group travel with the most accurate information currently available. It is distributed free of charge to GTOs and coach/tour operators including all members of the AGTO, the Coach Tourism Association (CTA) and the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT).

2017 saw the publication of two new BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA publications as our business went from strength-to-strength. THE BLUEPRINT GUIDE TO GERMANY was circulated in September and featured the best of Germany for the groups market. Later in the year we launched THE THIRST OF BRITAIN - an A5 publication, completely new in style, showcasing UK distilleries, breweries, cider makers and vineyards who offer tours and packages for groups.

2018 has already seen the publication of a new group travel guide, BOATS OF BRITAIN, which is a comprehensive A-Z list of the best boats, museums, services, visitor centres and experiences available to those who love all things maritime and naval.

We also produce reference publications on behalf of several key travel trade organisations.

• In March each year BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA publishes the official AGTO MEMBERS HANDBOOK on behalf of the Association of Group Travel Organisers. This publication is distributed free of charge to all Full, Associate & Intermediate Members of the AGTO and contains essential information regarding the services and support networks provided by the Association. We also design and publish their Magazine four times a year. 

• In March we publish the official HERITAGE RAILWAY ASSOCIATION GROUP TRAVEL GUIDE on behalf of the HRA. This publication is again distributed free of charge to group travel organisers and coach/tour operators including all members of the AGTO, the Coach Tourism Council (CTC) and the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT). To view an online version of this guide please visit the Heritage Railway Association’s official website  www.heritagerailways.com

• In February we publish the TOURISM SOCIETY MEMBERS HANDBOOK on behalf of the Tourism Society. 

In addition to the above publications we also produce the Visit Shrewsbury Town Guide and Town Map in January each year. These are commissioned by Shrewsbury Tourism and entirely self-funding based on the advertising revenue we generate through our media sales on both products. 

BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA is a member of both the Association of Group Travel Organisers and the Coach Tourism Association.
