From arranging meetings for small groups of people to organizing conventions

Did you know that the establishment of the first travel agency dates back to the organization of a certain convention?

I was a rail journey of temperance campaigners from Leicester who went to visit their likeminded fellows in Loughborough. Thanks to the organizer of the trip, Thomas Cookpaid, travelers paid a shilling a head for the return train journey with the afternoon English tea service included in the ticket price. The success of the excursion was such that it resulted in the founding of the first travel agency – Cook (back in the 1841).

Today, things are a bit different. Apart from the fact that convention participants often come from all parts of the world and reaching their destinations requires much time and effort, making the arrangement of transportation and accommodation is often also left on their hands, and the price they end up paying is often quite more than one shilling. A successful excursion also won’t result in the establishment of a new travel agency. Nowadays, there are agencies you can rely upon to take on the organization of such an event or you can avail their services as a support for just certain aspects of the organization, for example making transport and accommodation arrangements for the convention participants and guests etc. The event and travel agency Away is a representative of such an agency specializing in organizing all types of business events and business travel.
