According to Patrizia Iantorno, CCO of Swan Hellenic, inclusion in Virtuoso will present new sales and marketing opportunities to the network’s luxury travel advisors and their highly desirable clientele. Virtuoso agencies worldwide sell an average of $28b–$32b annually.
‘Virtuoso’s acceptance process is incredibly selective, so becoming a preferred partner is a true honor,’ said Iantorno.
