Global Travel Collection (GTC) represents the most influential community of luxury travel advisors. Among them are Extra Mile Club co-stars, Leslie Tillem and Curtis Parris, whose decades of expertise allow them to craft exceptional experiences, leveraging strong relationships with top hotels and destination partners to deliver something truly extraordinary for each client.

In the new episodes, Tillem and Parris will put all of their negotiating and networking skills to the test as they create one-of-a-kind experiences on the island of Maui for Emma Hernan and Chelsea Lazkani of the Netflix series "Selling Sunset." Hernan and Lazkani will select the winning itinerary.

The reality series will shine a spotlight on Maui's rich culture and stunning natural beauty, as well as the resilience of its people, who are trying to move forward with optimism and hope after last year's devastating wildfires. While some areas affected by the wildfires remain closed, much of the island, along with other destinations in Hawaii, are open to tourism. Following the wildfires, Global Travel Collection's foundation donated $10,000 to Maui United Way to aid affected communities, and GTC remains committed to assisting in the island's economic recovery.

"Viewers will have a chance to see the amazing work of our dedicated luxury travel advisors as they create bespoke vacations for their clients," said Angie Licea, President, Global Travel Collection. "The value of travel advisors is more significant than ever, and this show provides a platform to highlight all they do for viewers. We also hope that the series will help with Maui's recovery by showcasing the island's tremendous natural beauty and the wide variety of activities available to visitors."
