Luxury travel overview: Features, links and selling tips
The cliche is that ‘luxury travel’ means something different to every traveller, and like every cliche, it contains more than a grain of truth.
On one end of the scale lies gold-plated opulence and 24-7 stimulation; on the other understated chic and total privacy. And at some point between the two lies your client’s ideal holiday.
But whatever your personal definition of luxury, to travel agents the market means big-value bookings, wealthy clients and a huge range of interesting product to sell. It’s worth staying up to date, so bookmark this page for a stream of our luxury travel news and features, plus selected articles from elsewhere.
