Helloworld will team up with the Canadian-based, member-owned Ensemble boutique travel agency consortium in an exclusive alliance and tap into its global luxury hotel program, allowing network access across its brands in Australia and New Zealand.

Ensemble Travel Group members have access to exclusive offers and partnerships, including a luxury accommodation program delivered via its proprietary travel platform, ADX (Agent Digital Experience), designed to maximise efficiencies and profitability.

The new hotel program offers exclusive benefits and competitive rates at a wide range of luxury properties worldwide and a new global DMC (Destination Management Company) Program.

HLO CEO & Managing Director Andrew Burnes said the company was particularly impressed with the consortium’s luxury accommodation program to support travel advisors.
