Virtuoso’s July survey found advisors and suppliers still optimistic, just far less certain. The confidence is holding, the conviction is leaking out.
I prior covered what Virtuoso found for the luxury market in its research from last year and through the first half of 2026.
But sentiment from members matters beyond the luxury bubble because this is the part of travel that still books through humans. When advisors and the suppliers who court them start hedging at the same time, it usually shows up in leisure demand a few quarters later. Alongside the event, Virtuoso publishes its semi-annual Network Pulse Survey, fielded June 22 through July 9 this year, with 1,301 member responses and 647 partner responses across nine regions.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
