AC Group has joined both XO Private and The International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA), supporting the continued growth of its luxury travel offering while reaffirming its commitment to diversity and inclusivity across the travel industry.
AC Group’s XO Private membership marks another milestone in the growth and development of its AC Luxe brand, which caters to high-end travellers seeking exclusive, personalised experiences, including private access to heritage sites, luxury accommodation, and curated cultural encounters. Joining XO Private offers AC Group the opportunity to connect with its more than 25,000 discerning traveller and trade partners, supporting the group’s ambitious growth plans and elevating opportunities to showcase the highly curated experiences it can offer partners to support their own business growth and bookings.
AC Group’s IGLTA membership reaffirms the inbound DMC’s commitment to delivering inclusive, immersive and accessible experiences, while simultaneously providing trade partners and agents with additional confidence when booking one of AC Group’s curated tours and experiences for LGBTQ+ clients. Joining IGLTA also supports the group in working with a wider network of LGBTQ+ welcoming businesses, elevating welcoming travel experiences and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Rob Russell, CEO of AC Group, said, “We’re thrilled to have joined both XO Private and IGLTA. Both memberships not only reaffirm our commitment to continually evolving our products to support trade partners and agents in delivering tailored, immersive and inclusive experiences but also support our strategic growth ambitions.
“We’re particularly proud to be an IGLTA member. We’ve always stood with the LGBTQ+ community and believe in celebrating diversity, inclusion and the freedom to be oneself. We’re committed to not only creating itineraries that partners are proud to sell, but that also ensure LGBTQ+ travellers feel safe and confident in travelling, as well as creating a workplace where everyone belongs.
“Having launched Journeys Beyond Ordinary last November, XO Private supports the continued growth of AC Luxe, alongside opportunities to craft the bespoke, exclusive access travel experiences that inbound UHNW and HNW travellers are seeking. We’re looking forward to working closely with XO Private and IGLTA, expanding our products, and getting to know the exceptional industry communities that form each of the organisations.”
