VIRTUOSO

Whether by chance or by foresight, you've discovered Virtuoso, the nation's premier travel professionals. From now on, all sorts of travel -- for pleasure, education, sport, business or pure escape -- will be more enjoyable than you thought possible.

There are so many travel agencies in North America -- over 40,000 -- that it's difficult to know who is best.

Virtuoso limits it's membership to only the best. Fewer than 1% of the travel retailers in North America are accepted for membership in Virtuoso.

Our members are experts in leisure and vacation travel. They are professional consultants, putting themselves above the mere order-takers of typical travel agencies and phone banks.

Our personally selected, world-wide network of local travel operators works like a charm when you want custom travel. A personal guide in Hong Kong? English speaking driver in Moscow? Translator for the Cairo market? Most agents abandoned this level of service 50 years ago, but you can still find it as an Virtuoso Member.

We screen thousands of offers to bring you our best finds. Our Voyager Club and Select Properties programs offer you the finest in cruising and accommodations with special benefits available only through our members.

Virtuoso's distinction on the Internet is that we are backed by experienced travel consultants -- not a faceless computer booking engine that can only react based on the tables in its database. We are the travel agency industry leaders in web technology with the industry's first (and only) extranet: APInet.
