This year’s contenders across nine categories were chosen by the network and the editors of Virtuoso Life magazine, and represent the height of achievement in their given category. The 10th category focuses on sustainable travel and recognises the hotels that most embody the commitment to the three pillars of sustainable tourism: preserving the environment, supporting local economies and celebrating cultures. 

This year’s Virtuoso APAC Luxury Award winners include Goldman Travel, MTA and Savenio for production and Country Holidays, FBI Travel and Mosman Travel for growth. The awards also recognise the region’s top hotel, cruise and tour partners.

Virtuoso, the leading global network specialising in bespoke and experiential travel will bring approximately 500 of the most influential decision-makers in the luxury travel industry to Australia for a week-long conference program, networking events and destination immersion famils.

Amsterdam hosted the annual Virtuoso Symposium, 17-22 March 2018, and I was lucky enough to be there for the start.
