Following the establishment of Virtuoso’s North and South-east Asia regional team, the global network specialising in luxury and experiential travel will soon conduct its first Virtuoso Connects in the region. The event on June 27 will be held at Andaz Bali, in partnership with Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
Designed to foster meaningful engagement between Virtuoso’s top advisors and preferred partners, Virtuoso Connects Bali will bring together a curated group of key stakeholders for in-depth networking and strategic discussions.
Participating preferred partners include Andaz Bali, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, InterContinental Singapore, Jumeirah Bali, Raffles Bali, The Londoner Macao, The Ritz-Carlton Bali, and W Bali – Seminyak.
Virtuoso member agencies in attendance include 360 Private Travel, Blantara Travel, Blue Sky Escapes, CRIL Privée & Cie, Holiday Tours & Travel, Paris Class, Travellino, and Truvi.
Raymond Ang, Virtuoso general manager, North and Southeast Asia, said the launch of Virtuoso Connects in Bali is a strategic move.
“We are deepening our roots in the region and strengthening the advisor-partner ecosystem that drives Virtuoso’s global influence. We’re excited to welcome everyone to Bali – and soon to Tokyo and Seoul for additional Connects events this November,” he said.
These localised events are core to Virtuoso’s broader strategy to cultivate stronger regional relationships and accelerate growth in fast-emerging markets.
Attendees at the Bali event can expect an exclusive welcome dinner experience at Raffles Bali, cultural immersion through an Indonesian cooking class organised by Andaz Bali, and opportunities to do good though Hyatt’s on-the-ground conservation efforts.
Ang said: “Our collaboration with Hyatt and Andaz Bali was a natural choice, given our shared focus on positive-impact travel. Their dedication to conservation and innovation reflects the values we hold at Virtuoso, where luxury travel doesn’t just inspire, but also protects and gives back.”
Hervé Mazella, managing director of Hyatt Regency Bali & Andaz Bali, said the event would be a “milestone moment” that celebrates the growth of luxury travel in the region and highlights the shared values between Virtuoso and Hyatt.
“We are proud to be part of a partnership that elevates Bali’s cultural richness while inspiring purposeful travel for a new generation of global explorers,” Mazella added.
