“Virtuoso is thrilled to expand our relationship with Aurora Expeditions to now include a reach that goes beyond our initial offerings to the Asian-Pacific market,” says Beth Butzlaff, Vice President, Global Partner Relations, Virtuoso.
“Aurora’s passion for adventure, one of the leading drivers of post-pandemic travel, conservation and perspective-altering experiences, is what our advisors and their clients continue to seek out and embrace with open arms.”
