Global Travel Collection (GTC) is committed to elevating the travel advisor profession, showcasing the unmatched value of expertise and connecting clients with extraordinary experiences. This dedication led to the creation of 1st Look Presents: Extra Mile Club, a dynamic NBC TV series that highlights the power of high-end travel advisory. But this show isn’t just about inspiring travelers — it’s a game-changer for travel advisors.

Showcasing Travel Advisors Like Never Before

At the heart of Extra Mile Club is an exciting competition where two elite GTC advisors go head-to-head to design bespoke luxury travel experiences for celebrity clients. Each advisor curates an extraordinary itinerary in the same destination, tapping into their insider access, creativity, and expertise to craft a journey that aligns with the client’s desires.

The celebrity client not only experiences both itineraries firsthand but ultimately selects the one that best exceeds their expectations. The winning advisor is then granted the exclusive opportunity to serve as that celebrity’s trusted travel planner. This format underscores the true value of top-tier travel advisors, as the decision is based on which itinerary best captured the client’s vision for the perfect getaway.

Celebrity talent and destinations have included Bachelor in Paradise alums Ashley and Jared Haibon in New York City, Selling Sunset’s Emma Hernan and Chelsea Lazkani vacationing in Maui, and Nikki and Brie Garcia (The Bella Twins) exploring London. The show has garnered over 40 million views per season, offering unparalleled exposure for the travel advisor profession.

Shifting the Travel Advisor Narrative

For too long, the role of the travel advisor has been undervalued, with many perceiving them as outdated in the digital age. Extra Mile Club shifts that narrative by highlighting the invaluable skills, connections and dedication that travel advisors bring to the table. By putting elite advisors in the spotlight, the show redefines what it means to be a modern travel professional and proves that the “human touch” is invaluable.  

This series dispels the myth that advisors are obsolete, illustrating how they still play a crucial role in providing personalized, transformative travel experiences that automated platforms can’t replicate.

Demonstrating the Power of Personalized Travel

A key theme of Extra Mile Club is the unparalleled attention to detail that goes into luxury travel planning. Viewers see firsthand how GTC’s advisors provide VIP access, seamlessly craft tailored itineraries and expertly manage any travel hiccups that arise along the way.

This emphasis on personalization demonstrates that travel advisors do more than book trips — they curate unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The show reinforces the idea that in an era where personalized service is paramount, a skilled advisor’s touch is more valuable than ever.

Supporting Advisor Excellence: A Platform for Success

Behind every exceptional travel experience is an advisor supported by a network of exclusive partnerships, innovative marketing tools and cutting-edge technology. Extra Mile Club offers a glimpse into how, with the right resources, advisors can elevate their business and provide an unparalleled level of service to their clients.

This exposure not only highlights the expertise of advisors but also emphasizes the importance of the backing they receive, enabling them to thrive in the competitive world of luxury travel.

Expanding Opportunities in Luxury Travel

As the demand for luxury travel grows, Extra Mile Club showcases how travel advisors can position themselves as essential to high-net-worth clients. Advisors who are equipped with the right expertise, resources and visibility are best positioned to meet the evolving expectations of today’s discerning travelers.

The series also underscores how a personalized and tailored approach to travel can help advisors forge lasting relationships with celebrities and other high-profile clients, ensuring continued success in the luxury market.
