The Travel Agent Next Door reports that it has signed several new suppliers to support its new LUXE by the Travel Agent Next Door premium brand.
Suppliers joining TTAND’s LUXE premium brand lineup include Scenic, Explora Journeys, Uniworld, Silversea and Tauck.
Flemming Friisdahl, CEO, TTAND, said: “We are onboarding these new luxury suppliers to support our strategic plan for growth in the luxury market. A survey of our agents identified these suppliers to augment our preferred and approved supplier group.”
In November of last year, TTAND launched its premium brand, known as LUXE by The Travel Agent Next Door, to cater to the growing demand for luxury product and services – and to differentiate from mass marketing initiatives that do not appeal to affluent travellers.
The new strategy is intended to reinforce TTAND’s luxury positioning, boost conversions, and empower advisors to sell premium travel more effectively.
Christine Ufniak, TTAND Director of Marketing, explained that: “With 32% of Canadians classified as affluent, demand is rising for personalized, meaningful travel experiences across generations — from Boomers to Millennials.”
TTAND is uniquely positioned to lead in this expanding segment by training advisors to specialize in luxury travel. This specialization supports differentiation in a competitive market, attracts high-performing agents, and aligns with preferences such as private touring, river cruising, and bespoke FIT.
Ufniak said that research shows that luxury travellers are looking for personalization, exclusivity, and emotional connection—not mass-market messaging. To meet these expectations, TTAND will develop dedicated blogs, email campaigns, and a website tailored to this audience.
