I recently attended my first Essence of Sardinia – Sarda Banda 2026, held at Forte Village Resort, and returned with fresh ideas, inspiration and valuable new connections.
The trade show brings together travel partners from Europe and Africa with travel designers from around the world. It gives us an opportunity to explore destinations in greater depth, discover new partners and build stronger relationships.
Over three days of one-to-one meetings, I connected with luxury hotels, local destination experts and creators of unique travel experiences. The conference theme, AUDACITY, encouraged us to think differently, be creative and explore new ideas.
Exceptional travel is about much more than beautiful hotels and well-planned itineraries. It takes local knowledge, trusted relationships, reliable partners on the ground and the ability to bring every detail together seamlessly.
At Experiential Travel Journeys, these connections help us discover new destinations and experiences, bring fresh travel inspiration to our clients and design personalised journeys around the world with confidence and care.
The best journeys begin long before you travel.
