Virtuoso Awards Across Luxury Travel Segment

Virtuoso, the leading global network specializing in luxury and experiential travel, recognized exceptional advisors and partners during the 2026 Virtuoso Community Awards, presented at the Virtuoso Community Globetrotting Lunch on August 8 at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Celebrating achievement across the network’s specialized travel communities, the awards honor those whose expertise, leadership and engagement continue to elevate the Virtuoso experience for travelers, advisors and partners alike.

A favorite event among Virtuoso Travel Week attendees, Globetrotting gives advisors the opportunity to connect and learn about community partners’ latest news and programs through interactive presentations, ensuring Virtuoso advisors are informed about the latest offerings for their clients. This year’s program drew more than 900 advisors and 100 Virtuoso partners.

Virtuoso Communities are groups of the network’s advisors and preferred partners who specialize in specific travel niches to support sales, networking and education. Communities include Adventure, Cruise, Culinary, Family and Celebration, Sustainability, Ultraluxe and Wellness. These groups help advisors build relationships, share insights, learn about new offerings and deepen their expertise in travelers’ key passion points.

The Virtuoso Community Awards honor the network’s advisors and preferred partners that have made exceptional efforts and illustrated immense passion within their Community. Virtuoso travel advisors voted on preferred partners in each category, while the winning advisors were determined by Community sales production.
