Australia’s premier luxury travel showcase, Luxperience, has been taken over by Flight Centre Travel Group as the travel giant continues to bolster its presence in the high-end segment.

The owners of the Luxperience high-end travel trade show are evaluating its future format, seeking input from past attendees on how the event could be run going forward.

Luxperience organisers have confirmed this year’s annual event will switch to a virtual meeting format, replacing the planned physical show scheduled from 13 to 16 October 2020.
