Industry gearing up for Virtuoso Travel Week

The industry is gearing up for the 37th annual Virtuoso Travel Week, set to take place from Aug. 9 to Aug. 15 at the Bellagio Resort & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas.

The weeklong event – dubbed by some as the ‘Fashion Week of Travel’ — will bring together thousands of the industry’s most influential agencies, advisors and travel companies from over 105 countries, as Virtuoso continues to shape the future of high-end travel, cementing its expanding influence on a worldwide stage.

Virtuoso revitalizes the event format annually based on attendee feedback, and this year, it is offering over 40% more matched appointments between advisors and preferred partners.

Matched appointments allow attendees to submit preferences for the individuals they wish to meet, and they are then matched via a proprietary system to ensure curated, productive networking sessions.

Another option is assigned appointments for those who prefer a more turnkey experience, where a full schedule of appointments is curated by Virtuoso, providing an opportunity to connect with individuals they may not otherwise meet. Lastly, self-selected appointments remain, ultimately giving attendees the ability to further tailor their networking schedule.

Two new activations are set to be introduced to the Virtuoso Travel Week campus, as well: Themed Connects and Mindfulness Rooms. Themed Connects offer three interactive networking sessions focused on unique niches including new-to-Virtuoso partners, LGBTQ+ travel and luxury golf.

The goal is to give members a space to connect with a diverse range of Virtuoso preferred partners that specialize in these specific categories. Meanwhile, Mindfulness Rooms are designated spaces at both Bellagio and Aria that are designed to promote relaxation, emotional wellbeing and mental clarity during the stimulating week.

The annual event promises to generate excitement across the industry, spotlighting high-profile speakers, world-class entertainment, impactful development opportunities and meaningful insights.
