Virtuoso survey shows declining certainty in luxury travel sector

Virtuoso’s semi-annual Network Pulse Survey, conducted between June 22 and July 9, indicates that while optimism remains among luxury travel advisors and suppliers, levels of certainty have significantly declined. The survey included 1,301 member responses and 647 partner responses across nine regions.

The findings were highlighted during the 38th annual Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas, which took place from August 8-14. The event serves as a major networking hub for luxury travel professionals, including agency owners, hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators from over 105 countries.

While the survey is based on self-reported data from a specific luxury network rather than a scientific market index, the shift in sentiment among human-led booking professionals may serve as an indicator for broader leisure demand in the coming quarters.
