Luxury Travel Exchange International (LTX), produced by Questex Hospitality + Travel, came to a successful close this week after organizing more than 5,000 one-to-one meetings among over 900 professional travel advisors and 300 luxury travel suppliers.
The industry-leading event, held from 10-12 September at The Venetian® Las Vegas and Sands Expo Convention Center, brought top-producing advisors of luxury and premium niche travel together with leading suppliers for three full days of interactive networking, accredited educational programming and one-to-one meeting options.
The hybrid event offered a traditional trade show and intimate, one-to-one meetings on its signature LTX Exchange floor. The advisor audience, ranging from owners and managers to front-line affiliated and unaffiliated advisors, took advantage of substantial learning and earning opportunities.
Key educational topics for this year’s event, guided by the LTX advisory board – composed of experts representing the top-producing North American luxury travel agencies and global supplier partners – included sales and marketing, professional development and overall service experience. Discussions focused on how to gain confidence in upselling, overcoming obstacles to maximize sales opportunities, customer service best practices and brand management.
One of the most popular sessions was the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Specialty and Luxury Showcase, an exclusive educational seminar for advisors looking to build cruise bookings. The seminar highlighted the diverse opportunities within the river cruising and luxury specialty cruising markets, while enabling advisors to receive CLIA credit.
In addition to dynamic education and networking, the event closed on a high note with the Luxury After Dark Party at LAVO Italian Restaurant & Nightclub.
Presented by Luxury Travel Advisor and Travel Agent magazines, LTX offers the most relevant content in the luxury marketplace, developed in concert with these leading industry publications.
