As different is our conference location. Virtually taking over the whole Las Caldas Spa Hotel, it will feel like an AITO house party in a stately home in the countryside. As well as the excellent hotel facilities, there are also some bars and a restaurant on the doorstep, plus the cities of Oviedo, Gijon and Aviles just a few kilometres away and easy to explore, either within our programme of events, or individually.

One aspect which will remain constant is the heart, shape plus feel of our conference. We are an association of equals. Everybody, whether a tour operator, travel agent, business partner, tourist office or speaker, actively takes part in the business sessions. We all live and breathe specialist travel. We understand the issues and opportunities that exist for our sector of travel, and together we listen, discuss, question and find solutions to the myriad of challenges that impact our industry.

Discussions as ever will continue in late night bars and over meals, reconnecting and networking with friends and peers. Using our collective experience and knowledge to find individual solutions to aspects of your business that have eluded you. For our regular attendees, it is an opportunity to rekindle long established friendships. For those who have not previously attended, you will be welcomed with open arms, and brought fully into the great AITO Family.

Conference is just six months away, each year we are increasing in numbers, and the number of places available is finite, so don’t delay and book today!

I look forward, together with our hosts, to welcoming you to Asturias
