Hundreds of luxury travel enthusiasts gathered at Sydney’s ICC on Sunday 23 February to attend the Luxury Travel Collection’s (LTC) Luxury Travel Event, connecting high-value clients with suppliers and travel advisors for a day of indulgence and inspiration.
Brands in attendance included Ponant, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck together with Luxury Travel Collection Members Travel Associates, Take Off Go, Travel Experts, Trendsetter, Onboard Luxury, Tailored Journeys and Ramsgate Travel Service — making the event a true showcase of the finest in luxury travel.
Luxury Travel Collection General Manager Nikki Glading said The Luxury Travel Event is key in helping suppliers and advisors connect with valuable new clients and offers a luxurious platform to reengage existing clients and educate them on new product offerings.
“An incredible 71 per cent of our attendees were not currently booking their holidays with a travel advisor, which speaks volumes about the impact events like this have on introducing new clients to our experienced members and partners.
“When you create an environment that is welcoming, inspiring, and filled with those exquisite touches of luxury—like a champagne masterclass, custom fragrance experiences and gourmet creations under the guidance of a celebrity chef—you truly bring the magic of luxury travel to life.”
Travel Associates Cronulla Advisor Lisa Knight said the day was centred around building lasting connections with suppliers and clients.
“Attending the Luxury Travel Event on the weekend epitomised all the best parts of being a Luxury Travel Collection member.
“Speaking with suppliers, bonding with fellow advisors and of course engaging with the wonderful clients was a highlight.
“I was excited to make a once-in-a-lifetime booking for a delightful new client who is not only new to the brand but has never booked with a travel advisor before!
“I’ve now gained a client for life that truly understands the value of booking their holidays through a travel advisor.”
Beyond business opportunities, the event also provided valuable insights into the latest luxury travel trends.
