If you thought the hardest tickets to get in Las Vegas this month were for buzz-worthy live performances—think again. The invitation-only Virtuoso Travel Week conference is back, spanning across the Aria, Vdara and Bellagio hotels. The annual event is hosted by global travel network Virtuoso, which connects legacy properties, luxe resorts, boutique cruise lines, safari getaways and more with travel advisors and their leisure and business clients. “The global breadth of the Virtuoso network is key,” says senior vice president Jennifer Campbell. “We’ll have a combination of our top producers, rising stars, industry veterans and those new to the industry.”

Travel trends for the year ahead will be revealed during conferences and panels, alongside networking and deal-making opportunities. The guest list? Hoteliers and executives from luxury properties, cruise lines and more, invited to mingle with top agencies and select media. “For Virtuoso Travel Week 2024, new qualifications will apply,” says Campbell. “We are committed to curating a diverse and dynamic audience that fosters meaningful connections and enriches the event experience for all attendees.” Statistics and findings gathered by Virtuoso can often dictate travel programming. Are wellness-focused stays still leading bookings? What sustainability initiatives are on the horizon? Which U.S. and European regions are seeing the most visitors?

Business Traveler will be on-site and report back, so you can stay in the know.
