Travel Advocates will be granted access to Ensemble’s portfolio from 01 Jan, including its global range of luxury travel product.

“Our business will now have access to an expanded range of luxury hotels, villas and homes, apartments, extensive hosted and amenity cruise options and other flexible luxury products which will enable our Personal Travel Managers to offer a more diverse and high-end range of competitive travel products,” said Travel Advocates General Manager Mike Southcombe.

In return, members of Ensemble will benefit from the use of a customisible supplier and marketing support structure, which will allow them to choose the suppliers they want to engage with, as well as which marketing programs they would like to participate in.

Members will also have the chance to take part in a series of ongoing training opportunities.

“Ensemble’s extensive portfolio of luxury accommodation around the globe is unparalleled as are our cruise and experiential options, and we continue to invest in new relationships to keep it that way,” said Ensemble GM Aus/NZ Katy Muyt.

“Our members tell us they value the diversity and sophistication of Ensemble’s products and experiences, our market-leading technology and support, and the flexibility of member choice...we are proud to be leading the way in today’s marketplace,” Muyt added.
