ESSENCE OF LUXURY TRAVEL

Essence of Luxury Travel
by Yasmine Lawson

There are multiple reasons why people travel. Whether it be a business trip, visiting a friend, reuniting with family, or just a vacation, traveling is something we all do. But, what is often overlooked, is luxury travel. Usually people hear luxury, they think in dollar signs. But the honest essence of luxury travel can’t just be purchased. At the core of luxury travel is a number of feelings that many of us rarely come into contact with. And those feelings of comfort, exclusivity, and intimacy are truly the essence of luxury travel.

Comfort

Comfort Luxury

Traveling can be stressful, but only if you let it be. Trying to rein in all the moving pieces of a trip can take the magic out of it. Luxury travel emphasizes a carefree and ultra-relaxed experience of travel.

Garth Harding, sales director at The Cruise Line Ltd., commented that luxury travel is “travel without stress, pressure of time or daily routine, where your every need is preempted, and your every expectation is met and exceeded.” Doesn’t that sound amazing? Therefore, all you must do is focus on the amazing adventure you get to experience.

Exclusivity

Exclusivity for Luxury

Becx Whitefield, owner of TripAfrica, described this principle as “Having the experience to yourself. Feeling pioneering, exploratory, included”. This only adds to the authenticity of your adventure rather than taking from it. However, each and every moment is your own. You’re able to really enjoy deep smiles, hard laughs, and abounding fun. Every dish, every accommodation, every activity is something you and your chosen company can relish.

Intimacy

Luxury for Intimacy

Everyday vacations are filled with the same tired tourist spots. What’s unique about luxury travel is the personal and undivided attention that goes into any itinerary. This creates a distinctive and intimate connection between a traveler and their experience. Yes, it may be cheaper to go on a simple sightseeing tour. But think about the precious memories and feelings you’re probably sacrificing. Every piece of the traveling puzzle is entirely constructed based on you. I can assure you that every moment and experience is one that’s authentically tailored to you.

Luxury is a word that’s so overused that it’s almost lost its profound meaning. But when looking at its true meaning, one can only hope to experience it every trip. These three elements ensure any group, couple, or solo adventure to be one for the books. Therefore, before you write off luxury travel simply as an excessive expense, think about the essence of luxury travel and what you might miss out on.
