The IGS Collection Welcomes Chris Wheeler as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships

Dallas, Texas — September 30, 2025 — The IGS Collection is pleased to announce the addition of Chris Wheeler to our team as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. Chris joins to lead our worldwide expansion and further strengthen our collection of premier incentive travel hotels and lodges in new key destinations.

After more than three successful decades in the travel industry where he has worked for such notable companies as Walt Disney World, Norwegian Cruise Line, One&Only Resorts and Atlantis Paradise Island, Chris will retire from his own company, Wheeler Hospitality Collection.  Since 2018, he has represented several prestigious hotel brands including, SLS, The Oitavos, Exclusive Collection and Bürgenstock Collection in the U.S. MICE market. His dedication, warmth, and passion for these brands have been invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for all Chris has done to champion them.

With Chris’s addition, The IGS Collection now formally represents Exclusive Collection (United Kingdom) and Bürgenstock Collection (Switzerland).

Over the past year, The IGS Collection has expanded its portfolio to include a curated selection of luxury incentive level properties across Mexico, the Caribbean, Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Fiji, New Zealand, and Europe. Each destination is chosen for its exceptional facilities, service standards, and capacity to host a variety of memorable group experiences.

“Our shared commitment to providing clients with the best properties for their incentive travel needs makes this an ideal partnership,” said Norma Alberico, President of The IGS Collection. “Chris’ extensive industry knowledge and established connections will be instrumental as we continue expanding globally. We’re thrilled to welcome him to The IGS Collection Family and look forward to the new opportunities and connections this chapter will bring.”
