Aspire

Established in 2010, Aspire is the UK’s only luxury travel club that connects suppliers and agents selling high-end travel experiences. Aspire is the leading luxury travel trade media brand, comprising highly targeted print products, a members-only website and engaged digital community, and an extensive events network.

Aspire’s core community is luxury travel agency business owners and frontline sellers, alongside executives from the world’s leading high-end travel brands. The flagship B2B magazine, which educates readers on the most exclusive travel experiences across all seven continents, publishes five times a year to a controlled circulation of more than 6,700 readers.

In 2018, the brand held its inaugural Leaders of Luxury conference, now an annual symposium attracting more than 250 senior executives on an invitation-only basis. It also created The Retreat, hosting 25 hand-picked luxury travel sellers and 15 suppliers overseas for four days of relationship building and education. Testament to this event’s success, Aspire now hosts two Retreats each year in short-haul and long-haul formats.

In addition to its print, digital and conference portfolio, Aspire facilitates business relationships with suppliers and premium travel sellers through regional forums and celebrates the best of the luxury industry at its annual Aspire Awards.

Aspire is being led by acting editor Erica Rich, while editor Hollie-Rae Brader is on maternity leave.
