Virtuoso stepped up its local investment in the Asia Pacific region this month with a new dedicated regional office based in Sydney.
Opening last week, the office marks the company’s faith in the local market and its growing interest in luxury travel.
According to Virtuoso, over the last year the number of regional advisors increased by 47 percent compared to the prior year.
David Kolner, Senior Vice President of Virtuoso’s Global Member Partnerships, said investment in the region was a key ingredient in growing Virtuoso’s brand globally.
“This move represents our increased focus on international expansion and our continued investment in developing Virtuoso in the Asia Pacific region to the benefit of our members and partner suppliers.”

He continued, saying that as experienced travellers, Australians expect a high standard of service – the kind of service a Virtuoso advisor can offer.
“Globally, we are seeing a trend for high standards and the upmost quality of service in other markets, and travellers in the Asia Pacific region recognise that time is their most important asset,” he said.
“You can make more money, but you can’t make more time and the Virtuoso advisor can make sure you get the most out of your holiday experience by giving clients not only a fantastic itinerary, but personalised VIP treatment, and the benefit of their own local knowledge and experience that you can’t find on Google.”
To assist in product education, Virtuoso has scheduled a number of member roadshows in 2016, which included events across Australia and, for the first time, New Zealand.
