Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) has announced that selected LuxeXpert certified travel professionals within its network have become members of the Virtuoso global luxury travel group.
"Virtuoso membership is one of the key milestones in our strategy to develop the luxury market, which began a few years ago and has accelerated in light of the pandemic, particularly in response to the growing consumer demand for luxury travel," explains Louise Fecteau, General Manager of Transat Distribution Canada.
Selected certified LuxeXpert travel professionals in the TDC network who are members of Virtuoso will now have access to exclusive Virtuoso travel experiences and perks for their clients. They include hotel upgrades, airport transfers, dining experiences, exclusive shore excursions and custom itineraries.
Virtuoso On-Sites provided another level of service for Virtuoso travel professionals and their clients. Based in "unique and desired destinations," On-Sites manage every detail, from guides in clients’ native languages to private access, and tickets to top events.
"The development of our LuxeXpert certification has allowed our many travel professionals already specialized in the luxury segment to perfect their knowledge and expertise. Virtuoso is a major addition to the many resources that our certified LuxeXpert travel professionals will now have access to, to fulfill their clients' desires," Fecteau added.
"Only the most reputable travel professionals are welcomed into Virtuoso and we are honored to be among them," said Louise Fecteau.
