Special Report: Take Off in Travel returns for twelfth edition

Travel Weekly has joined forces with some of the biggest names in the travel trade to offer a free careers resource to help showcase opportunities for young people considering joining the travel and tourism industry.

Now in its 12th year, the 2026 edition of Take Off in Travel is a 76-page prospectus-style publication that is sent as a printed guide to schools, colleges, universities and other educational establishments, as well as being available on a dedicated, free-to-access website at takeoffintravel.co.uk.

All of the guide’s content can be used by travel companies as part of their own recruitment drives, while the publication can also be downloaded and accessed online.

The 2026 edition has been produced in association with headline sponsor Hays Travel and long-term partner Abta, and was launched at the ITT Future You Forum at World Travel Market in London last week, with more than 100 students and travel lecturers from across the country in attendance.
