What’s Next for Luxury Travel

Jet Linx is proud to stand on the leading edge of travel’s return.

On December 14, 2020, Jet Linx President & CEO Jamie Walker presented at INSPIRE 2020 – a virtual event that featured more than 100 of the most influential and innovative leaders in luxury hospitality. The goal of this year’s event was to sustain and elevate the luxury travel and hospitality industry during a critical time.

In a panel discussion on what the future of luxury travel might look like, Walker spoke alongside five other well-known industry leaders; Mathew L. Evins, Chairman & Co-founder at Evins Communication; Joann Kurtz-Ahlers, Founder and President at Hidden Doorways Travel Collection; Ruthanne Terroro, Vice President & Editorial Director at Questex Travel Group; Albert M. Herrera, Senior Vice President of Global Product Partnerships at Virtuoso and David Israel, Senior Vice President at hotelAVE.

Evins led the panel discussion, posing questions to all five panelists about how their organizations initially responded. to the pandemic, how it shifted their attitudes and priorities, how consumer behavior changed, and how the disruption in the industry will impact business in the long term and short term. The overwhelming sentiment brought forth in discussion was that while the pandemic posed a monumental threat, it sparked creativity that will carry the industry into the future.
