Newport Beach, CA (January 21, 2021) – Uniglobe Travel Center, the host agency division of Uniglobe Travel USA, LLC has joined the luxury-focused network, Virtuoso®.

 

The new relationship will extend Virtuoso benefits to all of Uniglobe Travel Center’s 700 independent advisors as well as the traditional Uniglobe agencies in the USA that participate in the Uniglobe Leisure Program.

 

Betsy Geiser, Vice President of Uniglobe Travel Center, sees this as a natural pivot for the cultivation of their member agencies. “We have some of the highest-producing travel advisors in the industry and have seen a shift toward luxury travel. The expertise Virtuoso has in the luxury market will allow those agencies to further develop their offerings to clients,” says Geiser.
