Luxury Escapes will launch its first large scale consumer travel event in Australia with the debut of Luxury Escapes Live in Melbourne this May.
The two day event will take place at the Royal Exhibition Building on 16 and 17 May 2026 and is expected to attract more than 10,000 travellers. More than 100 global travel partners across aviation, cruising, hospitality, insurance and tourism are expected to participate.
The event marks the latest step in the company’s expansion from a digital travel marketplace into a broader multi channel platform. Luxury Escapes has more than nine million members globally and has recently expanded into physical retail alongside its online offerings.
Luxury Escapes Live will feature destination showcases and travel packages presented by tourism organisations including Hong Kong Tourism Board, Dubai Tourism, Cook Islands Tourism and Tourism Western Australia.
Aviation and cruise brands including Cathay Pacific, Celebrity Cruises and Scenic Cruises will also take part, alongside luxury hotel groups such as Banyan Group, The Mulia, COMO and Apurva Kempinski Bali.
Visitors will be able to explore destination displays, meet travel partners and access event exclusive travel offers during the two day event.
Adam Schwab, Co Founder and CEO of Luxury Escapes, said the event reflects strong demand from both travellers and travel partners.
“Australian appetite for travel has never been stronger, and Luxury Escapes Live is designed to bring the industry’s leading travel experiences directly to travellers in one place” Schwab said.
Tickets for Luxury Escapes Live will be available free of charge for members.
