lobal Travel Collection (GTC) is redefining luxury travel and putting travel advisors in the spotlight. With 1st Look Presents: Extra Mile Club, GTC shows how elite advisors design unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experiences for high-profile clients. This fall, the series heads to Portland, Oregon, where advisors Leslie Tillem and Curtis Parris compete to create adrenaline-fueled adventures, indulgent escapes and once-in-a-lifetime moments for American Ninja Warrior co-hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila. More than a TV show, Extra Mile Club is a celebration of the creativity, expertise and influence modern travel advisors bring to the world of luxury travel.
Turning Travel Dreams into Memories
In Portland, each GTC advisor develops an immersive itinerary designed to exceed the expectations of high-profile clients. The experiences balance adrenaline-fueled adventure with moments of refined relaxation — think white-water rafting, helicopter tours over Oregon vineyards and the indulgence of a Ritz-Carlton stay.
The competitive format gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how advisors lean on insider access, strong partnerships and meticulous planning to deliver seamless journeys. The winning advisor earns the chance to become the client’s go-to planner, showing how personalization and expertise create lasting relationships in luxury travel.
Elevating the Modern Travel Business
Extra Mile Club makes one thing clear: travel advisors aren’t just trip planners. They’re architects of extraordinary experiences with the know-how to make every itinerary detail count. By putting them in a high-stakes spotlight, the series highlights the strategy, creativity and client-first focus required to create travel moments that no automated platform can replicate.
Today’s elite advisors are essential partners for discerning travelers, anticipating needs, curating exclusive access and adjusting seamlessly to every preference.
Precision, Personalization and Premier Experiences
Viewers of Extra Mile Club will see personalization is at the heart of the client experience. GTC advisors handle every detail — from VIP access to behind-the-scenes logistics — proving that luxury travel is equal parts foresight, finesse and industry experience.
It’s the difference between simply booking a trip and designing a journey that feels like it was made just for you. GTC advisors know that in luxury travel, personalization isn’t an option. It’s everything.
Tools, Resources and Opportunities for Elite Advisors
Behind every incredible itinerary is a powerful support system. Global Travel Collection equips travel advisors with exclusive partnerships, advanced tech, marketing tools and strategic guidance that help them scale their business and expand their reach.
Extra Mile Club pulls back the curtain on Portland, showing how top advisors use these resources to deliver extraordinary client experiences and build their influence in the luxury space.
