We had member relations people in other countries but it was here that we first started building a full complementary team, so that a lot of the functions &#8211; events, marketing, partner relations, etc &#8211; were based here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The evolution of coming to Australia all these years has been amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The launch agency in Australia was Mary Rossi Travel on Sydney&#8217;s North Shore. In its first year, Virtuoso had around five member agencies. By 2010 there were some 20 members in Australia and New Zealand, and today the number stands at 60 with the latest addition being <strong>Jacinta Blundell and her agency, Caboolture Cruise &amp; Travel in Queensland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before broadening Virtuoso&#8217;s reach to Australia, Upchurch revealed the network had held preliminary discussions with potential partners in the UK, however &#8220;they kind of didn&#8217;t take to it&#8221;.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;147172&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1706851342663{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1706851670682{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whereas when we came here, there was a lot of excitement for doing something different and resonating, so the original members were all in.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"text-transform: initial;\">&#8220;When we launched here I always felt like it was a partnership with the members.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was this market that really helped us re-imagine what it was to be a global company and I&#8217;m very grateful for the Australian and New Zealand nature of being kind, but direct, which made us better.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;147180&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1706855179112{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1706855220336{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;]&#8221;The members here could see the potential of this market and so a lot of the innovations we did abroad were born here, and it put a lot of pressure on the US organisation to be able to not building something that was just built for the US and see if it fits, but really opened up the opportunity for the businesses&#8217; support and product areas to look at things from a different perspective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An example of that is the first Virtuoso Magazine produced outside of the US was for the Australian market.<\/p>\n<p>Other innovations for the network that pioneered in Australia and are now rolling out across the group include the Regional Partnerships Program, which is a stepping stone to full membership for travel partners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fiona Dalton, General Manager AU\/NZ<\/strong> said, &#8220;We do think of ourselves as a bit of an incubator ground, because we can test and learn here, and Matthew&#8217;s been very gracious in allowing us to do that here. And if somethings not working, we move on, but this is a marketplace that has been hungry for innovation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Questioned how the luxury traveller has changed in the past 20 years since the first Australian Virtuoso agencies came online, Upchurch said it in one word. &#8220;Diverse&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Number one, the diversity of the luxury traveller. One of the reasons travel is doing so well is that every major disruption in the world \u2013 certainly since I&#8217;ve been alive \u2013 has only made travel more valuable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More from Upchurch next week in <em><strong>LATTE<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/latteluxurynews.com\/2024\/02\/02\/virtuoso-20-anniversary\/[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1560229304502{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/latteluxurynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/LATTE.html\">Go back to the e-newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Upchurch, CEO and Chairman of Virtuoso\u00a0sat down exclusively with LATTE yesterday to share his enthusiasm to be able to celebrate the luxury travel network&#8217;s 20th anniversary in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":147171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98658527],"tags":[544212292,160022],"class_list":["post-147166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-matthew-upchurch","tag-virtuoso"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Australia made us truly global,&quot;
