Travel Trade Gazette (UK & Ireland edition) is a weekly newspaper for the travel industry.
TTG, as it is widely known, was launched in 1953 by Leslie Stone [1] and claims to be the world's oldest travel trade newspaper. It features news, destination reports and careers advice for the travel and tourism industries. Sectors covered include travel agents, tour operators, airlines, cruise companies, hotels, tourist boards, rail travel, ferry lines, business travel and web-based operators.
The paper has an audited circulation of 18,670 [2] and is distributed via subscription and controlled circulation to high street travel agents, homeworker agents, call centres, tour operators and other travel organisations. It is published on Thursday.
TTG also publishes ttgluxury, a quarterly publication for the luxury travel sector, and bespoke supplements.
The paper's website, TTGdigital.com, features news, photo galleries and job vacancies. TTG also operates the TTGbusiness.com and [1] websites and provides online training courses through TTG Knowledge in partnership with Online Travel Training.
A TTG campaign in 2007 to cut queues at UK airports was backed by The Sun newspaper.[3]
TTG employs about 25 staff and is published by United Business Media. It is based at UBM's head office at Ludgate House, 245 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 9UY.
TTG is also published under licence in the Middle East and North Africa, Russia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland and Hungary, and by TTG Asia Media Pte Ltd in Singapore and China.[4][5]
