- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Sport (and associated media) remains a strong sector, with continuing investment in new and expanding tournaments, new geographies, and new media content, regardless of the dynamic geo-political situation. We expect this growth and resilience to continue.”
- “Touring continues to be an important part of the business model for bands and artists, and is a growing share of Travel Places business, offering a resilient growth path even in times of economic pressure.”
- “As in 2023, climate change and the role sports teams and organisers have in reducing their carbon impact remains a major theme within the sector. Travel Places remains well placed to play a key role in educating and facilitating clients' carbon reduction strategies.”
- “The majority of Travel Places client business is transacted through our principal commercial partner (Amex GBT). This relationship has worked successfully since 1993, and a renewed evergreen contract was put in place in early 2023.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
