Jo Kennedy was awarded “Most Innovative Adviser Asia/Pacific”, recognising her commitment to staying ahead of the client in defining trends, at Virtuoso’s annual Travel Week 2019.

Picking up her award before more than 1,800 attendees at Las Vegas’s Bellagio Resort & Casino earlier this month, Jo took the opportunity to thank her clients and partners around the world.

Connecting high-end travel companies with over 20,000 professional travel advisers globally, Virtuoso has carefully curated a portfolio of the most desirable properties worldwide. Editors of Virtuoso Life magazine, the network’s exclusive publication, selected the nominees. Virtuoso’s travel advisers lend their firsthand accounts to the voting process, as they determine the winners for each category.

Jo Kennedy said: “It is such an honour to receive this Virtuoso Award as it is voted for by our peers and partners. It is easy to excel when we have longstanding and loyal client relationships and when we work with such amazing partners at Travel Associates. The team at Kennedy & Turner Travel Associates is proud to provide the kind of counsel and ‘purple ribbon’ client service that no other travel group can match.”

Anna Burgdorf, Travel Associates GM Product and Marketing added: “The entire Travel Associates team congratulates Jo with this fantastic win. Our brand is defined by its highly bespoke client service, and the award acknowledges this key element in our DNA.”

Virtuoso Asia Pacific Managing Director Michael Londregan said the winners were exceptional achievers within Virtuoso’s group of outstanding advisers.

“Virtuoso partners continually invest in our network and these special awards recognise our agency members who demonstrate excellence in commitment by leaning into the process,” Londregan said.

“Just like elite athletes they are always striving to improve their knowledge, connections and service. This acknowledgement of Jo Kennedy focuses on key areas of excellence and innovation and we are delighted to have such wonderful role models to inspire our network.”

Jo’s previous awards include 2018 Global Hall of Fame Flight Centre Travel Group and 2017 nomination for Best Travel Consultant – Retail at the AFTA National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA).
