Virtuoso welcomes 19 new agencies (one from Canada) to its network

Despite the economic downturn brought on COVID-19, luxury travel network Virtuoso has still managed to add 19 travel agency members – one from Canada – to its network this year.

These 19 agencies, all leaders in both their territories as well as on a global front, share this philosophy and we’re honoured to partner with them to further their success.”
