From Vision to Action: How Ellice Bugayong Builds Trust and Drives Operational Excellence at Viluxur
At the heart of Viluxur’s dynamic growth is Chief Operations Officer Ellice Bugayong, whose leadership has not only shaped the company’s success but also strengthened the trust Viluxur shares with its partners. For over a decade, Ellice has been a driving force in fostering relationships rooted in mutual respect and reliability—creating an environment where trust is the foundation of every decision.
Building Trust, Empowering Teams
Ellice’s leadership style is defined by her ability to build genuine connections with both her team and Viluxur’s partners. “Trust isn’t given—it’s earned through consistent action,” she shares. Overseeing the sales divisions of both Viluxur and OV Traveller Club, Ellice has cultivated a culture where partners know they can rely on Viluxur for innovative solutions and personalized support. Her ability to connect with different teams, ensures that every agent and hotelier feels secure in their partnership.
“We’ve worked hard to prove that Viluxur is not just a service provider, but a trusted partner who stands by our agents and hoteliers, ensuring their success,” Ellice emphasizes. “That’s what sets us apart.”
Leadership Built on Trust and Growth
For Ellice, leadership goes hand-in-hand with trust. By offering support and guidance while empowering her team to take ownership, she creates an environment where people feel confident in their abilities. "Our people thrive because they know I trust them to deliver, and that trust extends to our relationships with partners and hoteliers," she says. "We’re here to help them grow, and in turn, we grow together."
Innovating with Trust at the Core
Ellice is spearheading the expansion of Viluxur’s game-changing platform, Viluxur Inventory Connect (VIC). “VIC is more than just a platform—it’s a testament to the trust our agents and partners have in us. They know that we’re providing them with tools that truly simplify and elevate their booking experience,” she explains. The launch in India, followed by Europe and the UK, reflects the confidence Viluxur’s partners have in the company’s ability to deliver results that matter.
A Future Built on Trust and Innovation
Ellice believes the future of luxury travel is rooted in authentic connections, and that trust is the key to achieving them. “Travel is changing—it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the experience, and our partners trust us to deliver on that promise,” she shares. By focusing on eco-friendly, culturally immersive experiences, Viluxur is leading the way in offering travelers something meaningful, while building trust with both partners and guests.
“What excites me most is how we’re continuously earning the trust of our partners—ensuring that whether it’s through VIC or the experiences we create, they know they’re in good hands,” Ellice concludes.
