“The Connections platform, which has
been designed with the travel trade in
mind, has been a game changer for us,
and we are very much looking forward
to working with the team to deliver the
second series, which will put Dana Point
on the global luxury travel map.”
Connections will bring a hand-picked
selection of luxury agencies representing
California’s key and emerging source
markets to meet with the region’s finest
suppliers.
The immersive event will also welcome
distinguished CEOs from Californian
destination
management
companies,
providing a strategic platform for them to
engage with.
Dana Point is famous for being Southern
California’s original surf town, and, more
recently, for being the “Dolphin and
Whale Watching Capital of the World™”.
Experiences offered at the 2020 event will
be local and authentic – pairing high-end
luxury with the laid-back surf culture of
Dana Point. They will include surf lessons,
whale watching, seaside golf and a visit
to the beautiful island of Catalina.
“Our bespoke destination
events have been
created to strategically
target luxury travellers
on a global scale by

destination knowledge of
key luxury agencies”
