"I am thrilled to be an independent affiliate of Largay Travel, a distinguished branch of the Tzell Travel Group and a founding member of Virtuoso. Partnering with the 51-year-young family-owned company based in Waterbury, Connecticut, recognized by Forbes Magazine, Conde Nast, Travel + Leisure, and other esteemed publications, reinforces our commitment to being a leading luxury travel agency in North America.
Forbes Travel Guide ("FTG") recognized Largay Travel for its leadership in the industry, dedication to elevating the role of travel advisors, support of hotels that have earned FTG Star Ratings and engagement with FTG as a trusted source for objective, third-party verification of exceptional hospitality experiences. FTG is the only independent global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises. Its 66th annual list in 2024 honors over 1,400 rated hotels in 85 countries. The coveted Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended awards are earned through incognito inspections on FTG’s hundreds of exacting quality and service standards."
