Questex’s ULTRA Summit: A Premier Showcase of Luxury Travel Innovations

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ULTRA Summit of Luxury Travel Advisor, orchestrated by Questex, is scheduled for May 5-7 at Chateau Elan, situated in Braselton, Georgia, slightly north of Atlanta.

As a leader in the luxury travel sector, the ULTRA Summit will coincide with the Global Meeting & Incentive Travel Exchange (GMITE), forming an engaging event that combines the luxury leisure and MICE travel segments. This partnership is inspired by comprehensive industry analysis, highlighting the rising intersection of these fields alongside the increasing appetite for integrated experiences.

Participants will gain from unique one-on-one meetings, valuable networking opportunities, and content led by experts, featuring insights into significant industry patterns such as the emergence of bleisure travel, shifting consumer expectations, and the craving for genuine, experiential offerings. By merging these two elite gatherings, this collaboration provides actionable insights and unmatched prospects to enhance business in an increasingly unified travel environment.

For international luxury suppliers, the ULTRA Summit presents an opportunity to display their destinations, accommodations, and services to a carefully curated audience of pre-qualified North American luxury travel agency owners, managers, and independent contractors. For advisors, this event is a unique chance to uncover new offerings, build meaningful partnerships, and stay ahead of market trends—all within a single, expertly organized setting.

New Luxury Travel Industry Day: An important addition to the 2025 agenda is the “Trends & Topics” day on May 7, where influential figures from the hospitality and travel sectors will engage in discussions on critical subjects such as global politics and travel regulations, the rise of bleisure, and the demand for authentic travel experiences, particularly within the luxury market. This day also facilitates enhanced networking with attendees from the co-located Global Meeting & Incentive Travel Exchange (GMITE), which includes meeting planners, incentive purchasers, and suppliers.

“The ULTRA Summit is more than merely an event; it signifies the direction in which the travel industry is progressing,” remarked Jill Birkett, VP/Market Leader, Questex Travel. “By bridging MICE and leisure, we aren’t just addressing the requirements of today’s buyers and suppliers but are also paving the way for the future of travel.
