The travel industry recently gathered in Phoenix, Arizona for the inaugural GTM Luxury conference July 28-31 at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. 

Over 800 travel advisors applied to be hosted for this new prestigious industry event, but only 75 travel advisors made the list for a chance to learn from and connect with top tier luxury travel suppliers. To qualify, advisors must be million dollar sellers with proven high-net-worth clients who average a spend of $1,000 (or more) per day. 

In the video above, we caught up with Alicia Evanko-Lewis, Executive Vice President, Global Events at Northstar Travel Group (the parent company of TravelPulse) and several attendees to hear their thoughts on the launch of GTM Luxury.
