What are Luxury Consortia Networks?
• Luxury Consortia are powerful travel membership marketing organisations. They link small and medium-sized independent travel agencies to leverage purchasing power and marketing opportunities.
• Global trends indicate that travel agencies in the luxury travel landscape are aligning further to luxury travel Consortia and driving bookings and share to preferred partners.
• Individual agencies affiliated to Luxury Consortia transact commercially with Resorts directly or via their Luxury Consortia supplier-member intermediaries.
• In line with the Kerzner Preferred Luxury Consortia SOP, a cohesive approach is required to ensure all Resorts are fully aligned with the global strategy for key Luxury Consortia accounts including membership participation; provision of amenities and benefits; targeted sales and marketing activities; and monitoring of performance.
