FOR TOURIST BOARDS.

Each year, Connections Luxury selects host destinations for its world-leading calendar of events.

Our destination hosts join the dots. Leveraging our industry-leading community engagement hub, training, and extending the shelf life of a physical in-destination event. 

A Connections event isn't simply about those who attend physically, it's how we capture the event, tell the story and add value to the thousands of community members who could not join. 

  • Caroline Beteta, Visit California

    The Luxury Forum is at the heart of Visit California’s luxury strategy, attracting the very top buyers worldwide thanks to event partner Connections’ elite reputation with the travel trade. The conference format pairs an equal number of California luxury destinations and businesses with buyers for immersive presentations and one-on-one networking. The symmetric conference participation fosters lasting connections that generate long-term business.

  • Leona Reed, Visit California

    Connections is our trusted partner in luxury strategy, truly dedicated to craftsmanship, vision, and personalized service. It's remarkable to have a partner with such a keen eye for detail and an extensive network – they make collaboration an absolute pleasure.

  • Jamie Koo, Lotte Hotel Seoul

    I must say that this is the most unique event of any travel mart I have participated in. It was an important day to participate as a supplier, enjoy fun activities with buyers, and introduce our Lotte Hotel Seoul during the event. It was a fabulous time to be able to be part of such an event, and I made good friends here. Thank you ALL.

  • Choi Kyeng Ju, Seoul Metropolitan Government

    Connections Luxury is the great step forward for luxury tourism business. In Seoul, luxury tourism is still a developing area. My office focuses on building up the luxury business alliance between related agencies. We have big expectation for the Connections luxury Seoul. This event will help us learn and share what is luxury tourism, what is travelers’ needs, how to communicate with global companies.

  • Sean Keliiholokai, West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board

    Connections has proven to be a key partner in the development of customized programming for the luxury travel trade within our destination. Our collaboration with Connections, centered on their unique formula, has empowered us to refine and create exclusive high-end B2B events that precisely align with the goals of both our organization and our destination. Working with the Connections team has been a delightful experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to any destination seeking a truly distinctive approach to their offerings.

  • Misun Beom, Seoul Metropolitan Government

    We are sure that through this Connections event, we are closing the gap between buyers and suppliers, as well as Seoul Metropolitan Government. Connections creating memorable experiences through meaningful human connections is crucial for business.
