Virtuoso Asia Pacific Managing Director Michael Londregan said the winners were exceptional achievers within Virtuoso’s group of outstanding advisors.

“Staying relevant and motivating talent are key challenges for our industry and our Virtuoso members are constantly engaged in professional development, including webinars and courses through our online Virtuoso Travel Academy,” Londregan said.

“They are recognized as being the best in their profession, but just like elite athletes, they are always striving to improve their knowledge, connections, and service. This acknowledgment of Jo and James focuses on key areas of excellence, innovation, and emerging talent and we are delighted to have such wonderful role models to inspire our network.”

Earlier this year, Melbourne’s FBI Travel was awarded Virtuoso’s Most Engaged & Hospitable Agency Australia/New Zealand, while Hong Kong-based Charlotte Travel has been named Most Engaged & Hospitable Agency Asia.  They were recognized in front of  Virtuoso’s global network at the Gala Dinner.

“Virtuoso partners continually invest in our network and these special awards recognize our agency members who demonstrate excellence in a commitment by leaning into the process.

Our members understand that travel is a team sport and this award has been given for the ‘best and fairest’.”
