Experience Joy Travel is the winner of "Best Travel Agency" in The Rogue Valley Times Community Choice Awards, 2025
Sustainable luxury travel combines high-end travel experiences with environmentally and socially responsible practices. It focuses on minimizing the impact on the environment, supporting local communities, and preserving cultural heritage while offering exclusive and unique experiences. This often involves prioritizing positive impact on the local community, locally sourced food, sustainable transportation, and philanthropic initiatives.

In this world dominated by A.I., a genuinely caring human touch is the ultimate luxury. The smartest person used to be the person who knew the most, but now that anyone can know just about anything, all of the information has become overwhelming noise. This is why using a travel advisor is more popular now than in the past. It isn't just providing a booking service, but service from a caring person to guide you through your selections and give you advice from their knowledge and personal experience.
"Service" is what you do for someone, but "Hospitality" is how you make them feel while you are doing it. -Matthew D. Upchurch, Chairman and CEO of Virtuoso
