About the Event

The Connections Luxury series launched in 2014 at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire. Since the launch Connections has been hosted in global destinations such as Asia, Europe and America with the support of notable brands which include Rocco Forte, Kempinski, Conrad and Taj to name a few. Luxury buyers are selected through extensive research and word of mouth recommendation together with existing partners and suppliers. They represent key and emerging luxury travel markets (including the US, China, India etc) and reflect the region in which the event is located (for example, the recent event in Europe welcomed 50% of buyers from Europe and 50% from outside the region). The luxury suppliers invited to participate are only the best companies in luxury travel around the globe; these include airlines, hotels, private jet and yacht charters, cruise lines and destinations.
