The Affluent Traveler Collection (ATC) is celebrating its 20-year anniversary and its considerable accomplishments after two decades in business.

“In 2005, TRAVELSAVERS expanded its marketing program into the luxury space with an initiative focused on upscale properties: great hotels,” ATC said. “Its aim was to drive affluent leads to advisors with a consumer magazine as its centerpiece.”

Added Nicole Mazza, chief marketing officer: “Two decades later, we are still generating new business and new heights of success for our advisors. ATC has developed into a dynamic network that helps our advisors deliver exclusive rates, premium products and unmatched value for clients.”

In addition to The Affluent Traveler magazine, which serves as a lead generator for ATC advisors and is curated with agents’ information and shipped to clients on their behalf, other notable achievements include a consumer website connecting affluent advisors to agents and a roster of lifestyle campaigns.

“ATC is now more than 350 agencies strong,” the company said. “As travelers increasingly treat themselves to luxury experiences, more advisors are cultivating an affluent specialty to meet demand.

Initially, ATC’s signature Symposium event took place every five years; now, the conference is held annually. In 2026, the Symposium will be held at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa from September 22-24.

In all, ATC includes 350 agencies, offering access to more than 1,300 hotels and a range of luxury cruise lines.

“Thanks to the influence and expertise of ATC’s consultants, we’re able to deliver a range of benefits that truly enhance the luxury travel experience,” said Ed Donaldson, vice president of sales.

“The exceptional value we offer inspires clients to book more journeys with their trusted advisor. As loyalty deepens, clients often give the highest compliment - referring their family and friends,” he added.
