Virtuoso’s Travel Week conference scheduled for Aug. 8-13

Post date: Jun 21 2021

Date: Jun 21 2021

By: Travelweek Group

NEW YORK — Virtuoso’s renowned Travel Week conference will take on a hybrid model this year, with both an in-person portion as well as remote feeds that will allow thousands to attend from the comfort of their own home.

Taking place Aug. 8-13, the conference is expected to welcome 2,000 attendees in person at Bellagio Resort & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas. Several thousands more will be joining remotely. 

The conference’s popular one-to-one networking appointments and professional development, available to all participants, will be back to “reunite friends, colleagues and business partners who need each other now more than ever to get travel and tourism back on its feet,” says Virtuoso. Both in-person and remote attendees will have access to Virtuoso Week’s robust training lineup from expert presenters. The content is also made available to registrants for a full month following the event. 

Also on the agenda are longer, selected appointments that complement the shorter, Virtuoso Week matched one-on-ones; Globetrotting programs that focus on Virtuoso’s Communities in key areas such as cruise, adventure, family, culinary and ultra-luxe travel; and a dedicated Cruise Café plus partner lounges.  

“Ours is a relationship business, first and foremost,” said Matthew D. Upchurch, Chairman and CEO of Virtuoso, “and there is no better manifestation of the power of human connection than Virtuoso Week. There’s the original speed-dating appointments in the morning and our famed Globetrotting sessions focused on Virtuoso Communities in the afternoon, but equally important are the ‘meetings after the meeting’ that take place in the hallways of Bellagio, or during dinner or, quite frankly, over a drink at the bar. 

“That relationship-building is crucial to restarting travel in a meaningful way and that leadership by our network in investing in relationships is at the core of our success, professionally and personally. We’re pleased to foster and support our members, advisors and partners by hosting luxury travel’s first global event with in-person attendance this year.”  

Virtuoso Travel Week attendance is open to all travel agencies, advisors and preferred partners who belong to the Virtuoso network. The deadline for virtual sign-up is July 14. For more information, visit  here .

Demand for this year’s Virtuoso Travel Week is off to a flyer, with early registrations amassed on the first day eclipsing what was achieved in the first two weeks for the 2022 annual luxury travel fixture.

Virtuoso Travel Week 2022 lured some 5,500 attendees from around the globe, with the luxury travel network expecting more visitors globally this year, including a formidable presence from Australia again.

This year’s multi-day conference is being held in Las Vegas between 12-18 August 2023.

Jennifer Campbell, Senior Vice President, Network Products & Events at Virtuoso said there’s clearly a lot of excitement among members for Travel Week 2023, which has undergone a number of modifications, some in response to delegate feedback.

Dynamic-pricing debut

Available until 31 March, early registrations for Virtuoso Travel Week (VTW) opened on 8 March, and for the first time is based on dynamic pricing, meaning the quicker members secure space, the greater the cost saving.

Dynamic pricing also aims to quell the number of registrations at the door. Last year there were more than 80 partners who arrived unannounced on day 1, some from overseas. Those who miss the registration cut-off also miss the opportunity to participate in VTW’s highly popular tracks program.

Campbell, who in 2023 will mark 10 years with Virtuoso, told LATTE at the Virtuoso AU/NZ Owner Managers Forum in Fiji this week that “we’re innovating and trying a few things differently at Travel Week this year”.

Those changes include shorter matched appointments, new professional development workshops and a change of day for the Tech Summit that debuted in 2022.

Campbell says having the full agenda locked in five months ahead of Travel Week’s opening appears to have generated increased confidence. It also enables Virtuoso to better gauge the size of the bed bank it allocates at its partner hotels in Las Vegas for the conference, namely MGM Resorts’ Bellagio Las Vegas, Aria Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa.

Early bookers have the advantage of selecting their preferred accommodation, with Campbell noting that the allocation for the non-smoking

non-casino and most affordable option, Vdara, was already full.

“For 2023 we have prepared really well with the agenda now bedded down.”

Community Globe Trotting, traditionally held on Saturday and generally drawing a couple of thousand members and partners, has been expanded to have a greater “passion focus”, Campbell says. A series of intensive 3-hour professional development workshops will also be held on Saturday, targeting members “who choose to pursue career development”.

VTW 2023’s Welcome Reception will follow last year’s lead and is also being held Saturday night.

Tracks – Assigned and Matched Appointments

“The other big change is the member and partner appointments on the tracks. Assigned Appointments will be in the morning and in the afternoon will revert to Matched Appointments which we had for years but were paused during COVID as the numbers and algorithms didn’t work. So they are back by popular demand. Members will get to choose their own appointments in that session,” the Atlanta-based Virtuoso executive explained.

“Timings for the [Assigned] appointments were previously 4 minutes before the pandemic, then went to 10 minutes which people really liked, then switched to 8 minutes – it’s a balancing act because some partners need to quantify the number of appointments and meetings they achieve.”

Assigned appointments provide the opportunity for members to meet someone they’ve never met before, to learn about their product or their agency.

“Members weren’t a fan of 4 minutes and they liked 8 minutes, but this year we’re going to 6 minutes,” she said.

“We’re trying to find a happy medium. A conversation in 6 minutes is enough time to get your whistle wet.

“The afternoon’s Matched appointments are a little more strategic as you choose who you spend your time with. They will be 10 minutes each.”

The last hour of every day includes a window where further discussions can be expanded beyond the six-minute speed-dating-esque briefings, for deeper conversations.

In other updates, Campbell told LATTE this year’s keynote speaker has been secured but remains unannounced. She said the VIP was someone who is “forward thinking and who represents a lot of the mindset of the global organisation”.

The Pinnacle Lounge which was inaugurated in 2022 for top producers (those in Virtuoso’s top 1%), will also make its return this year with some tweaks.

AU/NZ market expectation

Fiona Dalton, Virtuoso’s GM Australia & New Zealand said there had been a “good uplift” from Australian members for VTW in the first week of early registrations.

Dalton said last year’s Travel Week attendance from Australia/NZ was “unique” because of the significant quota of Travel Associates owner-managers participating, at between 50 and 6o, taking the local tally up to around 120.

She said she isn’t expecting the same number of Travel Associates members to attend in 2023, however “a lot of our members who couldn’t come last year – because it was too soon after COVID – are coming this year”.

Dalton is confident participation will reach triple digits, with numbers already halfway there.

Headquarter Happenings: Virtuoso Travel Week Celebrates Sustainable Success

Matthew Upchurch on stage during the opening session of this week's Virtuoso Travel Week. 

This week, over 5,000 attendees in person traveled to Las Vegas, including people from over 100 countries, to celebrate Virtuoso Travel Network’s annual Travel Week conference. This year’s edition was marked by continued optimism from the luxury travel network, and questions about just how long this wave of high-travel demand can last.

“The term ‘sustainability’ typically pertains to sustainable tourism, but in this case, the real question is not about sustainable tourism, but if the demand for travel and experiences will continue at the frenetic pace we’re seeing,” Virtuoso’s Vice President of Global Public Relations Misty Belles told reporters during a press conference this week.

The first half of 2023 brought record sales to Virtuoso members—the group recorded 36% higher sales in 2023 than in 2022 and 69% higher than the same period in 2019, its pre-pandemic high mark. Those numbers were buoyed by the full return of international travel, which has caused some of its domestic travel to slip.

According to Belles, the amount of international travel that members are booking is “on par” with where it was in 2019 now, marking a full recovery.

That recovery is happening even with rates up significantly in almost every major city for Virtuoso clients—the top city for the fall globally is Paris, with rates up 11% over 2022, followed by London (up 16%), Florence (up 37%), Rome (up 19%), and New York (up 16%).

Some niche travel segments are up even more, including culinary travel, which is trending among baby boomers, along with experiential travel that “pushes travelers out of their comfort zone, both physically and mentally,” Belles added. Other ultra-luxury experiences, like private aviation, are also trending.

And with all that has come an improving appetite among consumers for the use of a travel advisor. According to Belles, Virtuoso has seen a 50% increase in consumers coming to Virtuoso.com to look for a travel advisor. 

Growing Optimism A lot of the optimism from the Virtuoso team comes from the fact that its target traveler market is growing—the amount of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals is expected to grow by 35%, by 16 million people total, by 2026. That, coupled with the fact that the travel industry is also expected to grow almost twice as fast as the global economy over the next ten years, makes for a lot of optimism.

“We are so excited because of the market opportunity of the target traveler of Virtuoso,” Executive Vice President David Kolner said.

There’s also growing optimism from its members—according to its Global Pulse Survey from July 2023, 88% of U.S. members, and 84% of Canadian members, are optimistic about their business. Globally, that goes up to 90% of advisors in its network and 85% of ICs.

That optimism is coming across market segments—future cruise sales are up 106% compared to 2019 and 44% compared to last year, and even with hotel rates up 47%, hotel bookings are up 36% compared to last year.

Why Virtuoso Of the reasons that advisors end up becoming a Virtuoso member, the biggest is the brand. Kolner said this week that “we hear this again and again from our members who are new. Access to this shared brand that is Virtuoso is an immediate mark of validation for an agency or for an advisor.”

After that, Virtuoso tries to differentiate itself with what it provides and what it represents to its members.

In terms of what it provides, some of the highlights includes:

• Access to Virtuoso.com, including its lead generation and advisor matching system, as well as the usage of profiles, and the potential for consumer leads. That website is expected to get more detail and design over the coming months.
• Access to Virtuoso’s Preferred Partner Portfolio, which grew with the addition of 170 new members over the last year, including 16 new preview partners and 50 new regional partners.
• Professional development and training, including new peer panels where members learn from each other and learning paths that follow a U.S.-university 101, 201, 301 system. Also, Virtuoso Communities, where members with the same targeted focus on a specific sales niche can communicate. 2024 will bring several new communities, including adventure, cruise, culinary, family, wellness, and a full-fledged community for sustainability.
• Virtuoso events, including Travel Week, and three-day Virtuoso on Tour event, along with half-day Virtuoso Connects events, which are coming to 25 cities in 2024. There’s also a new event for Virtuoso coming this year called Virtuoso Advance, a three-day advance professional development event that will be held in Austin, Texas this October. That event will be available exclusively to Virtuoso Travel Advisor graduates and Ultraluxe Community Top Producers.

All of that is aimed at helping advisors increase sales. “Events do work,” Kolner said, adding that those members who attend events tend to improve sales more than those who don’t. Data shows that, too, with the average annual production increasing 20% for those who attend one event, 45% for those attending two, 49% for those attending three, and more than 60% for those who attend six or more Virtuoso events annually.

Marketing and resources Just as the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth population continues to grow, so do Virtuoso’s resources to help members reach and engage those travelers.

The highlight of these resources is Virtuoso’s Wanderlist, a consumer-facing program that allows consumers to create a roadmap for their own vacation futures that Virtuoso advisors can use to plan their next trips and communicate. Think Pinterest but for planning vacations, with actual itineraries available to be added to the list and a connection to a real-life travel professional that can make dreams and visions a reality.

Virtuoso launched a new app for Wanderlist during Travel Week, which Kolner said is “a great tool for advisors to use with their current clients and to use with new clients as an introduction.” Kolner added that advisors can use it to qualify a client, allowing a client to download the app and go through the destinations and experiences that he or she is seeking, and the advisor can see those selections.

There’s also an expansion of Virtuoso, The Magazine, the group’s award-winning print publication, and Virtuoso, The Book, which will launch in Latin America.

Virtuoso is also gearing up to launch a new film series called So, Virtuoso, a series of six films that it has created for its members to use in their marketing. So Virtuoso is a global consumer-facing marketing campaign with the goal of attracting the right high-value client to the network.

The first phase of the campaign was launched this year and achieved over 7 million impressions. It will be initiated in Australia and Canada this year, before possibly going international after, executives said, and a toolkit for in-network use launched this week.

“The whole campaign is really designed not just to buy ads, it’s designed to be amplified by the network itself, have the network participate in its propagation,” Senior Vice President of Marketing Helen McCabe-Young said.

Virtuoso’s marketing resources have made a significant difference for its advisors—the group has tracked a client’s spend versus an advisor’s usage of the resources, and each year, outside of 2020, those advisors who opt to receive the resources see an average annual spend of at least 37% higher than those who don’t. Last year that number hit a high mark at 38%.
