Two Destinations stages this year

For 2026 the show is expanding on one of its most popular offerings with an extra Destinations Stage added to the floorplan.

Hosted by a carefully chosen group of exhibitors from the show who all bring unique insights to their specialist destinations.

  • The Gateway Stage will focus on Asia and Africa.
  • While the World Stage will be for distant shores as well as countries close to home.
  • Plus we have a special guest session lined up on Sunday with nine year old explorer Frankie McMillan talking about his experiences at Everest Base Camp and the other adventure destinations he's visited around the world.


 

Frankie McMillan

Frankie is only nine years old, but is already making a name for himself internationally thanks to his record-breaking mountain climbing. The youngest Briton to summit Mount Olympus (The Mountain of the Gods) and Toubkal (the highest mountain ridge in northern Africa). He is busy bagging the highest summits in Europe, collecting nine peaks in the ‘Crown of Europe’ in just the last year. He is also one of only a tiny handful of children ever to reach Everest Base Camp, conquering the two-week hike entirely under his own steam at the age of just eight.
