Voyages is an online community catering to consumers’ shared interest in luxury travel. Our focus is exclusively on the luxury traveler - an elite consumer with an above average income, education and comfort with technology and thus an important segment for advertisers.

Voyages recognizes that a traveler’s evaluation of a destination hinges on information that is much more than a list of to-dos and amenities; well-vetted, independent recommendations are key. Our business strategy amplifies this “word-of mouth” dynamic by offering high-quality video programming, luxury destination guides and “social media” with a state-of-the-art booking engine. This unique mix of features - available in a single branded environment - offers members a combination of expertise, engagement and convenience that no other on-line travel site offers.

Community is the profit reservoir of the 21st Century, and at its core is informed conversation among consumers who share a common interest. Voyages facilitates conversations among members with a monthly slate of video programming covering luxury travel and lifestyle interests: Wellness, Adventure, Food and Wine, Shopping, Culture, Romance and Sport (mainstream and extreme). Our comprehensive, visually-stunning content speaks to the sophisticated Voyages audience and to the advertisers who wish to reach them.

Member-generated content -- reviews, videos, comments or photos -- provides further value to those planning or purchasing a holiday. Most important, members can see their “social relationship” to the member posting a review and thereby gain a more nuanced insight. This is an advancement over existing travel recommendation sites. Members who are active in the community and achieve “leadership status” are rewarded with special travel offers, discounts and access to premium services.

Finally, Voyages’ offers members access to our Resident Editors, luxury travel experts who live in key destinations around the world. Resident Editors keep members abreast of “What’s Hot” in the territory they cover; they also moderate community forums and provide seasoned advice on travel planning.

The benefit of participation? Voyages combination of services, signature video, and member-contributed content significantly reduces the time consumers spend planning and researching a trip, as well as the risk that their purchase will not meet their specific expectations. For participating advertisers we offer a quality environment within which to engage the world’s most affluent consumer – the luxury traveler.

Headquartered in New York, Voyages is funded by leading venture capital firm Syncom Partners and La Macchia Enterprises, a multi-billion-dollar travel and technology group. The seasoned Voyages management team has extensive experience in leading luxury, travel, media and on-line companies – including HBO, NBC, American Airlines, Starwood Resorts, Bacardi Martini, About.com and TUI AG.
