The 1000

Founded in late 2021 by industry veterans, Tim Morgan (formerly of Virtuoso) and Jeff Sirota (formerly of Small Luxury Hotels of the World), The 1000 is a club for the world's most influential travel advisors. Created to complement a travel advisor's existing agency or consortia relationship, The 1000 solves a common industry problem: how to provide relevant recognition, rewards, and relationship-building to travel advisors based on their individual sales efforts and individual business needs.

Uniquely, The 1000 provides a first-of-its-kind recognition platform that gives all advisors the ability to understand how their sales success likely compares to others in their local area, country, and world. The 1000 has received 1,400 applications from advisors in 47 countries around the world, representing $3B in annual travel sales production. Once their applications have been verified and approved by The 1000, advisors can use their recognition to enhance their marketing to new and existing clients and supplier partners. Over time, benefits are enhanced relative to advisors' individual geographic needs, client needs, and product/supplier needs, giving them access to a community of like-minded travel advisors and suppliers across the globe.
