About BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA

Founded in 2006, BLUEPRINT TRAVEL MEDIA is a business-to-business publishing company specializing in reference publications for the travel trade.

Our Flagship Publication
Each year, we publish THE BLUEPRINT GUIDE TO GROUP TRAVEL in collaboration with the Association for Group Travel Organisers (AGTO). Recognized as the most comprehensive resource for group travel organisers and coach/tour operators, the guide complements our website by providing accurate, up-to-date industry information. It 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).

Building on our success, 2025 will see further expansion into in-house publications, including the launch of a new quarterly digital magazine currently in development.
