Virtuoso has named Dubai as the next location for its annual Virtuoso Symposium. Taking place May 20-24, 2024, this thought-leadership event will bring together key executives from Virtuoso’s travel agency members as well as preferred partners to learn, network and explore one of the world’s premier destinations. The announcement of Dubai occurred during last week’s 2023 Symposium in Montreal, which attracted attendees from 35 countries.
Bonding through shared experiences is a hallmark of Virtuoso’s Symposium. Dubai, with its wide array of luxury offerings, world-class culinary scene and endless opportunities to explore this vibrant city, will be on full display for this influential group. After Virtuoso’s agency owners and managers have experienced Dubai at its best, they can then use their newfound knowledge and excitement to inspire their frontline advisors as well as future travels for their highly desirable, affluent clientele.
Dubai Economy and Tourism is leading the effort to host next year’s Symposium, with the following Virtuoso preferred partners providing additional support:
•Atlantis The Royal Dubai
•Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
•Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab
•Jumeirah Al Naseem
•Jumeirah Al Qasr
•The Palace Downtown Dubai
•Arabian Adventures
“Dubai is one of the most dynamic cities in the world, and we couldn’t be more excited to hold our next Symposium there,” said Virtuoso Chairman and CEO Matthew D. Upchurch. “The destination is an important element of this particular event. When we’re evaluating potential locations, the collaboration between the public and private sectors plays a large part in the selection process. Our incredible preferred partners have come together to create an exceptional program that will surely wow our Symposium attendees.”
“We’re honored to host the Virtuoso Symposium in Dubai next May 2024,” states Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing. “Strengthening our partnership with the Virtuoso network significantly complements our current efforts to become a top three international destination for tourism and business. We look forward to showcasing Dubai’s mosaic of offerings, from distinctive accommodations and entertainment to rich cultural experiences and an unparalleled culinary scene.”
Virtuoso selects some of the world’s most desired locations to hold its Symposium and Dubai joins an impressive list of sophisticated cities, from Cairo to Cannes, Singapore to St. Petersburg, Madrid to Mexico City, Buenos Aires to Berlin. The network’s latest Symposium, which concluded last week, was held May 17-21 in Montréal.
