Hello, Welcome to


the inaugural edition of Luxury Travel, a one-of-a- kind guide to travelling in luxury. Te luxury


travel market


is growing faster than any other with people looking to create their very own dream escape from the pressures of everyday living. Personalised itineraries, five-star resorts and high-end amenities are at the top of everyone's wish-list. Increasingly there is a strong desire


to indulge in an authentic travel experience, to live and feel like a local. Travellers are keen to step out of their comfort zone and explore away from the crowds and take the path less travelled. Sustainable travel is also high on the


luxury travellers want-list. Hotels must have high eco-credentials as well as offering the ultimate relaxing wellness and health retreat experience. As well as luxury long-haul, bite-


sized travel - high-end weekend trips - is growing in popularity as travellers ‘do it for the gram’, seeking out the best ‘insta-worthy’ cities across the globe. Te cruise market is ever growing


and expanding and definitely caters to the luxury market. Harking back to the golden age of travel, today’s cruise holidays are a blend of onboard luxurious accommodation and Michelin-standard restaurants coupled with far-flung ports-of-call and unique adventures onshore.
