DUBAI, UAE – Private Luxury, an industry-leading event for leaders in luxury travel, successfully kicked off its sixteenth edition at the iconic Atlantis The Royal. Crafted by world-leading architects, artists, and designers, Atlantis The Royal served as the perfect backdrop for this exclusive event, showcasing the contemporary heritage of Dubai to over 250 luxury travel buyers and exhibitors.

The Dubai edition of Private Luxury set the scene for the year, offering an innovative event programme that included tailored one-to-one meetings, destination experiences, and evening extravaganzas. The luxurious setting and meticulously curated program provided a truly immersive and enriching experience for attendees.

Christy Kuplic, Managing Director of Private Luxury Events, warmly welcomed delegates and highlighted the importance of human connections in the luxury travel industry stating, “In luxury travel, we embrace the new and continue to innovate. We explore high tech, however, our roots will always be high touch. Now more than ever, trust is our most valuable asset and trust comes from the relationships we make.”

During an interview at the event, Semiha Askin, Global Director of JOALI Maldives, shared her insights on success, emphasising the significance of building and maintaining relationships. “Success is about building relationships, enhancing relationships. “What I love about this industry and this show, is maintaining those relationships, no matter how many years it is,” said Semiha. She further praised the quality of buyers and venues at Private Luxury, highlighting the invaluable networking opportunities available beyond the formal meetings.

Continuing the accolades, Brooke Berlin, Director, Sales & Marketing, Ol Jogi, expressed her enthusiasm for Private Luxury, citing the event’s ability to bring together outstanding professionals from both regional and international destinations. Berlin remarked, “I love these shows because they bring together some amazing people regionally, but also from all over the world, many of whom I’ve never met before. This is, of course, the purpose of attending a show like Private Luxury, for new connections and new business opportunities.”

Rob Arrow, Director & Head of Partnerships at CHERRY spoke about luxury evolving as a leading sector in the travel sphere, and with that the number of shows and opportunities to interact with existing and new contacts. Arrow said: “Private Luxury Dubai was the perfect balance of attendees, interaction, and time to engage as you wish with who you wish, whilst also understanding many of us still have responsibilities in the background to deliver. All of this created a calm, collective and collaborative environment. I can’t wait for the next one.”

Private Luxury Dubai also owes its success to the support of exceptional industry brands and partners, including Atlantis Resorts, Address Beach Resort, 2Xceed, Prive Travel Concierge, XO Private, Marriott International, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Miral Destinations. Their collaboration enhanced the quality and prestige of the event, ensuring an unmatched experience for attendees.
