Beyond the Northern Lights, travelers also feel the sense of visiting remote areas of the earth. Antarctic cruises are becoming more and more popular, while branded clothing for cold climates as well as snow equipment increase their sales thanks to the new trend.
Adventure gets the impression : In new adventures, more and more travelers are experiencing the experience of gaining ground against material goods even on luxury trips. Now tourists prefer destinations of fraud that they have never visited before and original activities such as helicopter tours and much more.
The city wins the beach: The urban landscape outweighs the blue-green beaches in the preferences of luxury tourists, upsetting the tourist data up until yesterday. According to the World Travel Monitor, 29% of luxury travelers choose city break destinations rather than holidays in some idyllic warm scenery. The second most popular holiday type is touring, while the sun and the sea follow. This trend is again shaped by the desire for new experiences and not for relaxation. Creating unforgettable and personalized memories and not just delight in luxury is the key to luxury tourists.
Tourist agencies limt up : Contrary to traditional conventional travelers who arrange their entire trip online, high-income tourists prefer to book their reservations through travel agencies to have everything pre-arranged. Even though luxury travelers are looking for good prices, they also pay special attention to creating a unique holiday program. Travel agencies, whether for luxury travelers or not, continue to play a key role in identifying and creating unique travel memories.
Upcoming luxury destination Germany : Germany is the most popular destination for luxury travel in Europe. The reason is mainly that it is the number one destination for medical tourism with visitors combining medical services with accommodation in luxury hotels. Remember, the largest source of luxury travelers is the United States, with 1.37 million luxury travel abroad, followed by China (10 million) and other markets such as Japan, Great Britain and Taiwan.
