Island Breeze Luxury Announces 2026 Launch of Advisor Elite Accelerator Program for Aspiring Luxury Travel Professionals

Island Breeze Luxury, a premier luxury travel advisory firm led by industry veteran Stormy Durham, has announced the development and upcoming launch of the Island Breeze Luxury™ Advisor Elite Accelerator Program, a comprehensive 12-month mentorship and certification program designed to prepare travel advisors for success in the luxury travel market. 
 
The program is scheduled to launch officially in June 2026 and is currently in active development, including curriculum creation, video training production, and platform design. 
 
Created for new and developing advisors who aspire to serve high-net-worth clients, the Accelerator focuses on real-world application, supplier partnerships, and elite-level service standards.
 
“With luxury travel, there is no room for shortcuts,” said Durham. “This program is being built intentionally and thoughtfully, based on decades of hands-on industry experience. We’re creating something that truly prepares advisors to operate at a high level.”
 
The Advisor Elite Accelerator Program will include training in:
•    Luxury client psychology and consultation mastery 
•    Bespoke itinerary design and supplier relationship management
•    White-glove service systems
•    Pricing, profitability, and business sustainability 
•    Crisis management and client advocacy
•    Brand positioning and authority development

Participants will have the option to enroll in either a Standard Track or an Elite Track, with limited enrollment to ensure personalized mentorship and high-quality instruction.
 
To celebrate the inaugural cohort, the first 100 enrolled students will receive 50% off the Standard Track. 
 
Durham’s extensive background in charter yachting, global travel operations, and luxury advisory services positions the program as one of the most comprehensive training platforms in the region.
 
“This initiative is about elevating the profession,” Durham added. “We’re developing advisors who understand that true luxury is built on trust, precision, and long-term client relationships.”
 
Island Breeze Luxury is widely recognized for its personalized approach, direct supplier partnerships, and meticulous planning standards. The Accelerator reflects the company’s continued commitment to leadership and education within the travel industry.
 
Prospective students may join the early interest list and submit applications in advance of the 2026 launch. Applications are reviewed individually to ensure alignment with program values.
