Luxeworld Director Lionel Bonnafous says he wanted a retail group with great buying power and tailored support for growing independent operators – and the award-winning network fit the bill. 

“Holistically, we were drawn to Travellers Choice because it is a member-owned group, with a talented management team and a clear value proposition based around high-quality and innovative services,” he remarked.

Travellers Choice’s Accelerate membership gives independent businesses great earnings and perks like quarterly override payments and access to its TC One booking and Site Builder website.

Accelerate is one of the group’s three membership options, offering varying business services and benefits. Members can also easily switch between packages as their needs change.

Following the recent addition of members in NSW, Queensland and Western Australia, Luxeworld builds upon the network’s continuing Aussie expansion.
