Industry professionals have contributed their ideas about the future of luxury travel, for example niche luxury cruises, personalized adventure travel in undiscovered regions, etc.
Travel professionals are noticing a growing pressure in the industry to provide exotic travel and customized, ultimate experiences. Luxury adventure travel is on the rise and consumers can enjoy a growing selection of luxury safaris, heli-ski trips, niche boat cruises, personalized art tours, tailor-made culinary courses, and high-speed car tours in top vacation destinations like Cape Town, Provence, Tuscany and New York.
