The Circle recognizes Global Travel Collection’s top-performing travel advisors across all brands

NEW YORK (October 3, 2024)– Global Travel Collection (GTC) has introduced a new recognition program called The Circle that celebrates the outstanding achievements of travel advisors within all Global Travel Collection agency brands.

Global Travel Collection, Internova Travel Group’s high-service premium and luxury travel agency, represents the most sophisticated community of travel advisors and agencies worldwide, with advisors who serve clients in the luxury leisure, corporate and entertainment sectors. The Circle recognizes the top 15% of these high-achieving travel advisors who have made significant contributions to the business while servicing their clients.

The Circle’s introduction is a key part of the company’s newly designed service structure, aimed at providing more focused support to GTC advisors, with leadership from the Advisor Success Organization. The Circle recognition program offers a range of initiatives, services and events designed to elevate these advisors and their businesses. The core elements are designed to create a lasting impact on their success and strengthen their prestigious position in the travel and hospitality industry.

“Something as important as recognizing our top advisors required careful consideration, and I am thrilled with the results,” said Angie Licea, President, Global Travel Collection. “This program shines a light on travel advisors who are making noteworthy contributions to our company and serve as a source of inspiration for those who are on their way to becoming top producers. I look forward to honoring more achievements by our community of passionate travel advisors.”

To strengthen the relationship between GTC’s preferred partners and advisors, the company introduced the Circle Portal. This platform features a heatmap that allows partners to locate top-performing advisors based on their office location and travel expertise. The Circle Portal will continue to evolve, offering even more opportunities for advisor engagement and recognition.

Fostering partner growth and expanding business opportunities with travel advisors is a top priority. By enhancing collaboration and building deeper connections, GTC aims to create increased engagement and mutual business success for both partners and advisors.

Announced just ahead of GTC’s Elevate Connections on September 19 at Pier Sixty in New York, The Circle honorees were celebrated with coast-to-coast Circle Soirées. These events also highlighted the accomplishments of Global Travel Collection over the past year, with special gatherings at Hotel Bel-Air on September 16 and The Fifth Avenue Hotel on September 18.

In 2024, the Elevate conference was reimagined as a series of one-day events called Elevate Connections, held in two key locations: New York City and London, leading up to the luxury travel agency’s main Elevate conference in spring 2025. These Elevate events are designed to support Global Travel Collection advisors and travel partners, with an emphasis on fostering industry connections and driving business growth.
