Exclusive event reflects Internova’s expanding luxury vision

NEW YORK, NY (June 12, 2025) – Internova Travel Group once again raised the bar for partnership recognition in luxury travel with its fourth annual Internova Appreciation Dinner, held June 11 at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City. More than an elegant evening, the exclusive event represents an evolution in the industry, one led by Internova to elevate, redefine and ultimately reshape the partner-advisor relationship.

Bringing together 140 of the world’s most influential hoteliers, destination partners and luxury cruise executives, and Internova’s top-tier travel advisors, this invitation-only event is a singular celebration of partnership, designed to reward excellence and deepen strategic collaboration.

“While other companies host events, Internova creates alignment,” said Albert Herrera, Executive Vice President of Partner Relations at Internova Travel Group, one of the industry’s largest travel services companies. “This annual dinner is more than a celebration. It’s part of a larger vision to create a world-class luxury travel network where the industry’s top partners and advisors thrive together.”

Held in one of Internova’s most important markets, the New York City gala follows previous celebrations in Los Angeles and London and underscores the company’s global footprint and growing influence as the largest luxury travel seller in North America and the U.K.

“Internova doesn’t just recognize partners, they empower them,” said François Delahaye, Chief Operating Officer of Dorchester Collection. “There’s a sense of momentum and purpose behind everything they do. It’s clear they’re building something not only bigger, but better.”

And that larger vision is already underway. Internova’s travel programs, including SELECT Hotels & Resorts, SELECT In-Country Partners, CURATED Hotels & Resorts and Distinctive Voyages, connect partners with affluent travelers through its vast community of luxury travel advisors around the world. Its luxury lifestyle magazine, OLTRE, continues to inspire clients and reinforce Internova’s role as a trusted tastemaker in high-end travel.

Internova also leads the industry in fostering meaningful engagement between partners and advisors through events like Internova Marketplace, returning to London on June 18 and Los Angeles on September 18, and the highly-coveted Internova PLUS, which will convene next year at Gleneagles in Scotland from January 27–30, 2026.

“It’s an honor to be affiliated with Internova, an organization that deeply understands the vital role strong partner relationships play in the success of luxury travel advisors,” said Josh Alexander, a luxury travel advisor with Global Travel Collection, part of Internova Travel Group. “These connections are the cornerstone of the carefully crafted experiences I create for my clients, and a key reason Internova stands apart as the very best in the industry.”

Internova is investing in platforms, people and partnerships to lead the next evolution in luxury travel. Partners and advisors can contact their account manager or agency lead to learn more.
