Members of Direct Travel’s leisure leadership team recently attended the Virtuoso Symposium in Vienna for the group’s annual Thought Leadership meetings.

For many of those attending, it was their first international trip in close to two years and the mood, not surprisingly, was celebratory.

Seen, from l to r, in this photo taken at the event’s closing gala ball that was held at Vienna’s legendary Spanish Riding School are: Direct Travel’s Vivienne Kouba, Gerard Bellino, Rene Schneeberger and Stephen Smith, with Virtuoso’s Tony Logan and Una O’Leary.

In Canada, Direct Travel does business as Vision Travel, one of the country’s leading luxury travel agency groups.
