The network has chosen an inaugural group of 16 advisors from the U.S. and Canada for the program. 

The advisors applied to be part of the program. To be selected, they had to meet certain criteria, including being in business for at least a year, having strong supplier relationships, and an interest in continuing education.

The Champions must attend three virtual and one live meeting each year. In return, they will have access to industry events like International Luxury Travel Market and Pure Life Experiences. They will also be a resource for consumer and trade media.

The inaugural Champions are:

• Alli Allen, Travel Edge, Atlanta
