Leisure Group Travel and the Travel Alliance Partnership (TAP) have released the 2026 TAP Dream Destinations Guide, showcasing inspiring North American destinations, trusted travel trade partnerships and fresh itinerary ideas for group travel planners and tour operators.
Leisure group travel contributed $39 billion to the U.S. economy in 2024 and supported more than 515,000 jobs, yet it was relegated to an “adjacent segment” in a major industry report—highlighting a costly blind spot for destinations that continue to overlook this high-value market.
The April 2026 edition of Leisure Group Travel explores the power of meaningful travel, with features focused on rare and time-sensitive experiences. It also includes two in-depth special sections: the Illinois Group Tour Planner and the Virginia Group Tour Guide.
The February 2026 issue of Leisure Group Travel is now available, featuring Faces of Food Tourism, timely industry coverage, religious travel highlights, two new group tour planners, and inspiring destination itineraries.

The December 2025 edition of Leisure Group Travel is the perfect way to close out the year while looking at what’s next for the group travel industry. This special Industry Forecast Issue explores the trends, opportunities and milestones shaping the year ahead.
