Over 100 CTA members have already signed up for the CTA Annual Workshop, sponsored by Tourism Ireland, taking place 6-10 February 2026 in Derry~Londonderry, with Early Bird Booking available until Friday 14 November.

Limited places remain for the pre-event fam trips open to Buyer members, with accommodation provided by Tourism Northern Ireland, including options for the Causeway Coastal Route or Mid Ulster. The Early Bird rate for the four-night package covering the pre-event fam and the Annual Workshop is £150 + VAT, then from 15 November onwards, this rises to £195 + VAT.
