Bookings are now open for the CTA Annual Workshop which takes place in Derry/Londonderry on 6-10 February 2026. The event includes a new all-day Workshop on the Monday which has been scheduled in response to members’ requests to provide more time for the appointments. The Annual Workshop’s headline sponsor is CTA partner member Tourism Ireland which is very generously supporting the event.
Accommodation for the event will be split between two hotels in the city, The Ebrington Hotel and The Everglades Hotel, with the Monday Workshop taking place at the latter. The event also includes a Fam visit for all delegates in Derry/Londonderry on the Sunday afternoon and dinners in The Guildhall on Sunday evening and the Walled City Brewery on Monday evening.
For buyers (operators and wholesaler members) there is the opportunity to join a special pre-event Fam, organised by Tourism Northern Ireland, to either the Causeway Coast or Mid Ulster on Saturday 7 February which includes complimentary accommodation on Friday and Saturday evening in the Maldron Hotel, courtesy of Tourism Northern Ireland. This pre-event Fam is limited to 40 participants and bookings will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so please secure your place early. For buyers attending the pre-event Fam, there is also an option to travel together by coach on Friday 6 February with the transport kindly arranged by member Bensons Travel and ferry crossing sponsored by Irish Ferries.
