The Next Decade of Luxury Travel

By Chris Linch

A recent survey of both travelers and travel professionals named everything from niche luxury cruises to personalized adventure travel in undiscovered regions as their predictions for luxury travel trends in 2010.

The current economic setting has paved the way for new bargains. Travel professionals note that value for money is a top priority. If luxury hotel and tour operators can effectively demonstrate why it's worth paying a bit more for an extraordinary experience, they will thrive in this market.

It is expected that a proficient travel advisor can provide the best available services in the top vacation destinations around the world, because travelers are seeking the optimal price/quality balance when selecting a luxury vacation.

Travelers are seeking above-and-beyond adventures in exciting new destinations, and travel professionals are now offering customized experiences to fill these needs. Ranging from luxury safaris, heli-ski trips, niche boat cruises, personalized art tours, to tailor-made culinary courses and high-speed car tours travelers to Cape Town, Provence, Tuscany, and New York can now engage in whatever their hearts desire.

Going green is a consumer trend that has extended to the travel industry. While not necessarily *new* the conscientious traveler will have more opportunities in 2010 to engage in eco-luxury travel to eco-friendly destinations. Such "green" travel promises exciting adventures to intimate, sustainable villa resorts.


If you want to travel in style then you need to find out what the trends are for the time you are traveling. You can really save over the next years on some fantastic luxury hotels and more due to the fact that the economy has driven hotel prices way down. Hotel prices are down 10% on average and are actually still falling as people try to fill those empty hotel rooms. Just search discount hotel sites to find the best deals on some of those hotels you never thought you would stay in. - 30412
