Takumians’ arrival comes as Traveller Made’s membership numbers topped out at 600, viewed by Founder and President Quentin Desurmont, as the ‘sweet spot’ for the founding community. Speaking exclusively with LATTE at The Essence of Luxury Travel event in Marbella in March, Desurmont said capping numbers for the original community was “very important” in order to “maintain very precise positioning.”
At the multi-day luxury trade event, Desurmont hinted a solution to enable Traveller Made to continues its membership growth path beyond 600 had been in the works for some time. Overnight, the consortia revealed its next move had arrived in the form of a “little sister” to Serandipians. Enter Takumians.

“Now that we are approaching the ‘numerus clausus‘ of 600 Member agencies worldwide, it is important that we praise and that we sanctuarise them as an outstanding community of luxury Member Travel Designers. And as we close the number of Serandipians , Traveller Made is launching a new community, Takumians®,” Desurmont confirmed.
In Traveller Made’s words, “Takumians is a community of luxury travel master designers and crafters, with values built around excellence, craftsmanship, wisdom and authenticity.”
Takumians debuts with a community of 50 member travel agencies and more than 100 hotel partners worldwide.
So what are the key differences? According to Diana Nuber, Commercial Director & Media Relations of Traveller Made, both communities are on par with one another and identify as “being part of Traveller Made, to avoid any tendency to think of different tiers.”
