Matthew Upchurch, chairman and CEO of Virtuoso, the world’s leading collective of upscale travel agencies, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report at August’s Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas, about news that came out of the event (including a new Virtuoso intelligence capability), where Virtuoso is as a luxury travel network today, and the state of luxury travel business.

Slightly more than half of the members surveyed feel that leisure travel will increase next year, which leaves us wondering why the other half are less optimistic.
