The Right Way to Start in the Travel Industry
A structured 10-week experience designed to help you build a strong, professional foundation as a travel advisor — guided by real industry expertise.
We help you explore whether this is the right path for you, and give you the clarity, structure, and confidence to move forward.
Starting in Travel Isn't as Simple as It Looks
Many new advisors enter the industry without clear direction — unsure how to position themselves, what to prioritize, or how to build a real business.
Without the right foundation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, make costly mistakes, or struggle to gain traction.
There Is a More Structured Way to Begin
The Luxe Launch was created to provide clarity where there is confusion, and structure where most new advisors feel uncertain.
This is not about rushing into bookings — it's about building a business the right way from the beginning.
Guided by Experience That Spans Decades
The Luxe Launch is led by Angela Hughes, CEO of Trips & Ships Luxury Travel and Luxury Travel University.
With more than 40 years in the industry and firsthand experience in over 121 countries, Angela has helped shape and guide hundreds of advisors across all stages of their business.
This experience is woven directly into the structure of this program — giving you insight that goes far beyond theory.
