Europe Express Launches Inaugural Advisory Board

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

LYNNWOOD, Washington, July 2026 — Europe Express, a premier European travel operator and Travelopia brand, announced the launch of its first-ever Advisory Board. The founding board convened for a full-day summit on June 30, 2026, in Denver, Colorado, following an opening reception on June 29, marking a new chapter in how Europe Express partners with the Travel Advisors who sell its Custom FIT, Private Groups, and Elevated Journeys travel styles. 

The Advisory Board was created to give a select group of experienced Travel Advisors and agency owners a direct, ongoing voice in shaping the future of Europe Express. The inaugural summit brought board members together with Europe Express leadership for candid discussion across the business, including the state of the industry, technology and the customer journey, marketing and partnerships, product development, and the definition of luxury travel today. 

“The success of our Travel Advisor partners is what we are 100% committed to. This board opens the discussion to ensure we are helping them achieve their professional goals and delivering an exceptional experience for their clients, the travelers.“

— Parik Laxminarayan, CEO, Europe Express 

The founding Advisory Board is made up of seven Travel Advisors representing agencies across the country. 

“Every idea this board brings us gets built into how we support our Travel Advisor community, from the content we create to the tools we put in front of them. This isn’t a one-time listening session. It’s the start of an ongoing partnership.” 

— Kelli Williams, VP, Marketing and Business Development, Europe Express 

Insights from the summit are already informing Europe Express’s marketing and content roadmap. Europe Express plans to reconvene the Advisory Board on a recurring basis as part of its ongoing commitment to building strategy alongside the Travel Advisors it serves.
