Kent Region

Within the Association for Group Travel Organisers ‘Kent’ is unique inasmuch as it’s contained within just one English county.

We currently have a branch membership of 60 covering a wide range of clubs and organisations – business communities, U3As, KentARA and other retirement groups, WIs, gardening, theatre and many more – some with comparatively small member numbers, others in excess of 300.   Our aim is to ensure our members are kept fully informed of AGTO news, membership benefits and the assistance available to them both through the Association and our own branch membership network.

Kent branch holds meetings/events at least 4 times a year. These take place at suitable venues and attractions generally within the county, or within easy travelling distance.  Attending these get-togethers provides insight into potential days out for our members’ individual groups.

Each starts with a 45 minute branch meeting.  Members are always made welcome, given the opportunity to introduce themselves and speak about the type of outings their organisation arranges.  Likewise, when Partner members attend they are invited to introduce themselves and share what their organisation has to offer GTOs.  All members are welcome to bring a guest to our meetings, and everyone is invited to join in a general discussion session.  Indeed, one of our key objectives is to share our experiences of day trips, short breaks and holidays, telling it how it was – the good, the bad and the ugly – together with advice on how to book and get the best out of your group’s visit.

All AGTO members, whether GTOs or Partners, are most welcome to join us at our advertised meetings, and an invitation is also open to any non-members to come along, bring a friend, and see for themselves what the Association has to offer Group Travel.  Just contact our Chairman, Secretary or one of our Committee members for any further information you may need.
