Why virtuoso matters?
What is Virtuoso?
Virtuoso is a global network of the top travel advisors, top hotels, local operators, and luxury cruise lines in the world. The best of the best! Each member completes a thorough vetting process in order to become a member of Virtuoso, and only 1% of travel agencies in the world are invited to join. My travel partners must pass rigorous quality standards to be considered for membership into this elite travel club and must agree to give special perks to my clients (like you!)
What does it mean for you?
VIP Status
As a Lawson Luxury Travel client, you have access to VIP Status with our partners that you can't get on your own. Even more so, it's a lot more fun to have someone else spoil you than to spoil yourself.
Benefits vary by destination, but some of the other exclusive amenities our clients receive when traveling around the world may include:
Private hotel transfers
Daily breakfast for two
Room upgrades, based on availability
Spa credit
Gourmet dining experience
VIP airport lounge access
Bottle of wine upon arrival
And onboard luxury cruises:
Shipboard credits
Virtuoso-exclusive shore excursions
Dedicated onboard hosts
Pre-paid gratuities
Relationships
We send our friends to stay with our friends! One of my favorite things about my job is connecting great people who love to travel with hospitality experts passionate about providing my clients with world-class experiences and exceeding their expectations. If I propose a hotel or an experience, you can be confident that I have spoken to the hotel directly and have strong relationships with the local operators at that destination. We have partnered together to provide you with a bespoke itinerary uniquely suited to your travel style and interests.
If you are celebrating something special, we have the “in” to make it spectacular and a truly memorable experience.
Value
As a Virtuoso traveler, you may receive access to preferred rates and promotions that are often better than what you can find online. When you combine that insider access with the Virtuoso benefits, it creates an incredible value proposition that even the most savvy travelers, who book their own travel, might not know.
For all of you that love a good business case study…
A couple is spending a week-long vacation at La Taha’a in Tahiti in an Overwater Suite valued at $822 per night. This is the same price online, except by booking with a Virtuoso travel advisor (like me!), they will receive the following:
Room upgrade to a one-bedroom sunset view suite valued at $1,079 per night if it’s available. A value add of $257/night or for a week stay $1,799 in value.
Daily breakfast for two valued at $100 per day or for a week stay $700 in value.
Food & Beverage credit equivalent to $100 in value.
Early check-in and late check-out, which really comes in handy depending on their international flight schedule, value = priceless!
The total quantifiable added value is approximately $2,599.
Combine the value of these amenities to the peace of mind of having a professional, Virtuoso travel advisor help you plan the perfect trip, and it is obvious Why Virtuoso Matters!
