Editorial NOVEMBER 2024

We’re Putting Santa Out Of Business

Apart from being a media leader in the travel industry, Traveltalk has always been famous for one thing.

The quality and quantity of its competitions.

But in all our nearly 50 years of phenomenal prizes and glittering giveaways, we’ve never done anything like this…!

Inspired by the ‘12 Days of Christmas’ and with the festive season almost upon us, we’re announcing a special ‘12 Days Of Giveaways’.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and partners, we’re running a new competition every day for 12 days, starting from November 4.

Prizes include hotel stays, meals out, movie tickets, gadgets and much, much more.

Winners will start to be announced in early December so you’ll know whether you’ve got an early Christmas present in plenty of time before the big day.

‘12 Days of Giveaways’. Only in Traveltalk.

Merry Christmas!

PS: Santa says he’s fine with it.
