Aspire and ATAS are joining forces to host the first Luxury Adventure Showcase in partnership with headline sponsor Quark Expeditions. The day-long event, held on Monday, December 8 at Tobacco Dock in London, aims to promote a range of land-based and expedition-style adventures and connect an exclusive group of agents with suppliers excelling in the sector.

With more luxury consumers than ever before turning their attention to money-can’t-buy adventure-based holidays, the event will highlight the ways adventure travel is a lucrative proposition for high-end consumers. The Luxury Adventure Showcase will include content on the luxury adventure market and the opportunity at hand for agents not yet capitalising on this growing sector, as well as prescheduled business meetings, networking opportunities and a luxury adventure-themed activity sponsored by AE Expeditions. The event is only open to UK-based travel agents that are within the Aspire and ATAS databases.
