Virtuoso has named the recipients of its annual Virtuoso Performance Awards, where over 2,000 attendees gathered at the Bristlecone Ballroom at Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Honorees included top-performing travel advisors from around the world. The awards were based on two criteria whereby advisors and suppliers received honors: minimum production requirements evaluated throughout 2009; as well as peer-to-peer assessment within the network.
