International luxury travel network, Virtuoso®, has released its top destinations for Canadian travelers for the remainder of 2015. Recognized throughout the industry as an authoritative trend predictor, Virtuoso tapped into its data warehouse of more than (U.S.) $35 billion in transactions to determine the leading destinations.

At a time when reports show as many as four out of 10 people not taking a vacation in over a year, clients of the Virtuoso network, which caters to those seeking enhanced service and richer, more personalized travel experiences, are ramping up their journeys. Regarded as some of the most upscale and influential travelers, Virtuoso clients are more than four times more likely to have recently booked travel.

“Today's consumers purchase travel in a much more personalized way, looking for attributes in products and services that reflect who they are and the lifestyles they lead,” says Matthew D. Upchurch, Chairman and CEO for Virtuoso. “They self-identify based on how they view themselves, and they have a multitude of travel personalities depending on where they are going and who is traveling with them. Our goal is to create an enriching experience every time, whether they're traveling to someplace more known like Europe or a destination further afar like Australia.”
