Signature CEO Alex Sharpe spoke about the importance of finding a specialisation as a travel advisor at the network’s Annual Conference.

Members and partners of Signature Travel Network raised over three-quarters of a million dollars at the network’s Owners’ Meeting last week in San Diego. Through silent and live auctions and other donation methods, the nearly 500 attendees raised about $763,000, with all proceeds going to the Global Impact Grant Program operated by Signature’s nonprofit arm, Travel Elevates.

One of the highlights from Signature’s recent Owners’ Meeting in San Diego, California, was the introduction of Storybook, a new AI-driven tool that will help the network’s luxury travel advisors find the right products for their clients, as well as the most efficient way to pitch the product to them.

Just about every cruise segment this year is outperforming 2024 numbers, according to Signature Travel Network. At its recent Owners’ Meeting, newly minted president Karryn Christopher shared some sales and marketing updates, including that the network is up 8% in same-store sales versus the same time last year.

Karryn Christopher has been named president of Signature Travel Network today at its Owners’ Meeting in San Diego. Alex Sharpe, who previously served as CEO and president, will continue in his role as CEO.
