Global Travel Collection hosted its second Summer Soirée at Hotel Café Royal in London on June 19, 2024. This event, part of Global Travel Collection’s “Elevate Connections” series, convened supplier partners and independent travel advisors for an evening of networking and celebrations. A pre-event business update provided a platform for Global Travel Collection leadership to formally communicate important changes within the company to its partners. Notably, sister company Altour’s independent travel advisors will be integrated into Global Travel Collection. This transition re-positions Global Travel Collection as the central home for all luxury independent travel advisors within Internova Travel Group.
Partners also heard insights on business performance, trends, strategic developments and future plans. They were shown how the changes would positively impact their collaboration with independent travel advisors across Global Travel Collection and open new opportunities for mutual growth.
“We are excited to unite the Altour independent travel advisors under the Global Travel Collection umbrella, and this is a transformative step in the growth of the business,” said Francesca Mendola, vice president, Global Travel Collection in the U.K. “Although we know many of them already, we are excited to get to know their businesses better and learn how we can enhance their business and revenue opportunities. This event provided an informal way of coming together to celebrate our independent advisor community.”
Bringing together over 90 independent travel advisors and more than 100 preferred partners from across the U.K. and internationally, the evening served as a timely opportunity for new advisors to network in a relaxed environment. The event featured live music from the Brixton Chamber Orchestra. The Lambeth-based charity consists of a mix of professional and volunteer musicians, showcasing young talent from diverse backgrounds.
“Our Summer Soirée not only celebrated our collective successes but was a pivotal moment to for us to communicate the exciting changes happening within our organization,” said Angie Licea, president, Global Travel Collection. “As of today, we proudly house all independent luxury advisors under the Global Travel Collection brand. This integration expands our global reach, enabling us to enhance service offerings for all travel clients.”
