Virtuoso Travel Week 2025 has kicked off Las Vegas, with more than 4,800 top luxury travel professionals from 107 countries gathering for a frenzied week of collaboration, connection, and strategic growth.

At Virtuoso Travel Week, taking place in Las Vegas this week, Matthew Upchurch, Chairman and CEO, and other executives from Virtuoso shared at its opening session Sunday night a slew of tech updates that are available to the network’s members.

Virtuoso’s global network sales have soared to a record high this year to date, up 14% on the same period last year.

Virtuoso hosted its annual Australia & New Zealand Forum in Adelaide over two days earlier this week, in the process of re-connecting 150 owners and managers and preferred partners from the luxury travel conglomerate. Participating at Virtuoso Forum ANZ was ‘Mr Luxury’ himself, Virtuoso Chairman and CEO Matthew Upchurch.

The CEO of global luxury travel network, Virtuoso, has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at MTA – Mobile Travel Agents’ upcoming national conference. Matthew Upchurch is a long-standing associate of MTA co-managing directors Karen and Roy Merricks, who invited the Virtuoso boss for the group’s 20th anniversary conference taking place from 28 February to 1 March, 2020.

Global luxury travel network Virtuoso has signed a partnership with one of the most dynamic lifestyle brands now entering the cruise marketplace: Virgin Voyages.

Virtuoso’s Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand, Cristina Magni, has announced plans to return to Europe, leaving her role effective 31 October.

The Virtuoso luxury travel network will introduce a new “invitation only” group in 2019 for its travel advisors working with high-net-worth customers around the globe.

Long regarded as tremendous travellers, now Australians are being recognised the world over as great luxury travellers. Fuelled by strong share portfolios, super and property, Australian luxury travellers are consuming at record rates, with demand pushing a raft of luxury travel brands to open sales offices across the country.
