Premium partnerships are forged at the debut GTM Luxury

PHOENIX -- The clock strikes 10:16 a.m. and the room buzzes with handshakes, introductions and the swapping of business cards. At the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa here, the inaugural GTM Luxury, hosted by Northstar Travel Group (Travel Weekly's parent company), with its speed-dating-style approach to meetings between travel advisors and suppliers, is in full swing. The minutes fly by, but it's enough time to form relationships. GTM Luxury is the newest rendition of Northstar's invitation-only Global Travel Marketplace events. To be selected to attend, advisors must sell at least $1 million annually to clients who spend a minimum of $1,000 per person, per day; have at least two years of experience selling luxury travel; and have a roster of high-net-worth clients. At her table at the JW Marriott's conference center, Kristen Buckshire, who owns Travel Ease and is based in Augusta, Ga., has 52 appointments over two days with luxury-focused suppliers. Buckshire, who specializes in luxury family travel, is meeting with brands like Rental Escapes, Crystal and Scenic Luxury Cruises. While meeting with Arts & Leisure Tours, Buckshire tells the tour operator it may be a match for a client who wants to plan a multigenerational trip to Grand Cayman. "It seems like they have a good pulse on the luxury experience," Buckshire later says of Arts & Leisure, adding that she didn't currently have a good supplier for custom Caribbean trips.

While still at GTM, she has already texted clients about the brand. Buckshire, who is on track to sell $5 million to $6 million in travel this year between Travel Ease and the recently acquired Margaret's Travel, has attended other GTM events but was drawn to the luxury-focused version to meet suppliers who understand the experience her clients crave. "They need something very curated -- very high-end -- to feel like they are getting that experience and leaving their kids with that legacy of travel," she says. In searching for suppliers, Buckshire says she and her husband, Justin, who left his corporate job to oversee Margaret's Travel, are on the hunt for "authenticity": suppliers with unique experiences that can't be replicated. GTM Luxury was created to meet the soaring luxury travel demand, said Alicia Evanko-Lewis, executive vice president of events for Northstar. And more are planned: The next GTM Luxury will be in January in Los Angeles, and GTM Luxury APAC is on tap in Singapore in April.

Photo Credit: Brinley Hineman A match made at GTM Immediately after Stella and Robin Mountain of Ntaba African Safaris, a tour operator, sit down at Jami Turner's table, the advisor asks: "Next safari, what are we doing?" Turner, the owner of The Travel Fanatic in Odessa, Texas, is using one of her six-minute appointments to begin brainstorming a 2028 safari with the Mountains, with whom she connected at a previous GTM and sent a group on safari with earlier this year. Turner, who is set to do $2 million in sales this year, mostly in group travel, says planning a group safari trip was a leap of faith, but she feels confident in the operator since it was vetted by the GTM team. Typically, Turner won't bring a group back to a destination for at least five years after they've visited, but she's breaking the rule for Ntaba African Safaris. "It was that amazing," she says of the safari. "GTM works."

The inaugural GTM Luxury event kicked off Monday at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz. The event, produced by Travel Weeky parent company Northstar Travel Group, builds on the GTM premise, which pairs vetted travel advisors with suppliers for three days of one-on-one meetings, small-group Boardroom presentations and networking events. But the GTM Luxury show is all about luxury travel. For travel advisor participants to qualify, they must have annual individual sales of at least $1 million in 2024, proven luxury sales with a $1,000 per person, per day spend; at least two years of sales in the luxury sector; existing high-net-worth book of business; and established relationships in the upscale market. Through the Boardroom sessions and timed, individual appointments, the advisors get access to reps from a roster of premium and luxury travel businesses: Cruise lines, tour operators, destination management companies and specific destination reps.
