Travel trade media company Northstar
Travel Group will launch a new biweekly World of Luxury newsletter on Feb. 11,
expanding its World of Luxury brand to deliver in-depth coverage of luxury and
ultra-luxury travel products, trends and industry leaders. The World of Luxury newsletter
gives travel advisors who specialize in luxury a resource for expanding their
high-end offerings.
Northstar’s Director of Luxury Content,
Ruthanne Terrero, will oversee the biweekly newsletter.
“World of Luxury will provide
luxury travel advisors with go-to features and news to help them elevate their
agency business,” said Terrero. “Following the success of the newly launched
GTM Luxury hosted-buyer event, the timing is right to provide regular content
specifically for this sophisticated, entrepreneurial audience.”
Terrero joined Northstar in July 2025
after 22 years with Questex, where she launched Luxury Travel Advisor magazine,
luxurytraveladvisor.com and a hosted-buyer event, Ultra.
“This newsletter is perfectly
aligned with the strength of the luxury travel market,” said Ken Shapiro,
Senior Vice President and Director of Content at Northstar. “Across the
industry, everyone is talking about the resilience of luxury travelers and how
this segment of the market remains consistently strong. Having another product
to address these opportunities — helmed by someone with Ruthanne’s experience —
is an ideal extension of the Northstar portfolio.”
