As the luxury travel industry continues to evolve, Virtuoso Travel Week stands as the premier event for high-end travel advisors, suppliers, and destinations worldwide, and a key platform for destinations and suppliers to reach high-end travel advisors.
Virtuoso is a prestigious global network of luxury travel advisors and agencies, renowned for crafting bespoke travel experiences. With over 20,000 elite travel advisors working within the world’s finest travel companies, Virtuoso spans 50 countries, providing unparalleled access to exclusive travel experiences. The network’s value lies in offering insider knowledge, personalised service, and unique experiences that are unavailable elsewhere.
From Saturday, August 10 through Thursday, August 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada, VTW takes place at three host hotels: Bellagio, Aria, and Vdara. The members-only event offers a unique platform for industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and explore the latest trends and opportunities in luxury travel.
The Significance of Virtuoso Travel Week
Virtuoso Travel Week is the highlight of the luxury travel calendar, held annually in Las Vegas. It is where the global leaders in luxury travel gather each year to represent the voice of luxury. With a focus on insights, inspiration, personal networking, and Professional Development, Virtuoso Travel Week sets the stage for the future of luxury travel, fostering human connections that drive business in a powerful way.
The event serves as a critical marketplace where Virtuoso members can meet, forge new relationships, and strengthen existing partnerships. The event includes pre-scheduled appointments, educational sessions, and networking events, essential for launching new products and discussing future trends in luxury travel. This year’s event is particularly significant as the industry experiences a resurgence post-pandemic.
A winning philosophy
While not directly linked to Virtuoso, SAFE strongly supports the brilliant initiatives of this organisation when it comes to “connecting the dots” in the luxury travel sector. The vast and varied experience of Virtuoso’s key members and executives is such that their clients are in the best hands at all times when travelling to new and exciting destinations. To this end, we believe our philosophies are very similar, and we encourage high-end, and ultra-high end travellers to utilise the services of Virtuoso travel advisors for even the most demanding travel plans (note that we are not paid to say this!).
Virtuoso Community Globetrotting
A significant feature of VTW is Virtuoso Community Globetrotting, an interactive forum running from August 10th to 11th. The event features several pavilions, each of which are dedicated to a single Virtuoso Community: Adventure, Cruising, Culinary, Family + Celebration, Sustainability, Ultraluxe, and Wellness.
This segment provides an excellent opportunity for Community Partners to engage directly with advisors, offering in-depth presentations and discussions about their destinations and products. This year, the event has been extended to two days, introducing new pavilions such as the Sustainability Pavilion and the Cruise & Ultraluxe Pavilions. Highlights include a Welcome Breakfast and the Virtuoso Community Award ceremony, which recognises outstanding contributions within the Virtuoso network.
The Virtuoso Travel Tech Summit will also play a pivotal role, focusing on innovation and technology in the travel industry. This summit will bring together leaders and innovators to discuss how technology is reshaping luxury travel, offering a platform for meaningful dialogue on future trends.
VTW also offers a series of professional development sessions, including Destination and Brand Training, Passion Point workshops, and Virtuoso-led sessions.
Virtuoso Travel Week not only highlights the resilience of the luxury travel industry but also, more imoortantly, underscores the importance of personal connections and bespoke experiences.
