Global Travel Collection Continues as Exclusive Travel Sponsor

Global Travel Collection (GTC) is proud to announce its role as the exclusive travel sponsor of the esteemed South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF®) for yet another year. Scheduled for February 20-23, 2025, this event has solidified its status as a premier culinary festival in the U.S., attracting food lovers and culinary luminaries from all walks of life.

A Decade of Dedicated Partnership

For over a decade, GTC has been the backbone of travel coordination for the festival, managing the logistics for renowned chefs and VIP guests. As a part of Internova Travel Group, one of the world's largest travel service companies, GTC leverages its extensive network of travel advisors and agencies to enhance luxury travel experiences for both leisure and corporate clients.

Making a Difference Through Hospitality

One of the standout features of SOBEWFF® is the Tribute Dinner Auction, organized by Stacey Gallagher, Advisor Success Manager at GTC. This special event has proven to be incredibly impactful; over the past seven years, it has raised more than $500,000 for the festival. The funds raised go directly to benefit the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University, ensuring the development of future hospitality leaders.

Unique Experiences Awaits

Stacey Gallagher emphasized the incredible opportunity GTC has to engage with festival attendees by showcasing unique travel experiences designed around their interests. The collaboration with SOBEWFF® is essential for promoting the critical roles travel advisors play in crafting exceptional journeys for their clients. Carol Press, luxury advisor at GTC's Miami office, expressed her gratitude, stating, "For over a decade, I’ve proudly booked travel for celebrity chefs at SOBEWFF®. This festival highlights the dedication and personalized service we provide."
