The global luxury travel market size is expected to reach USD 2.46 trillion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Luxury Travel Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Tour (Safari & Adventure, Culinary Travel & Shopping, Others), By Age Group (Millennial, Baby Boomers, Others), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The rising urge to break free from the pressures, fast-paced lifestyle, and monotony of daily routines has heightened the appeal for travelers. Additionally, the growing life expectancy and improved health conditions, even in older age, are motivating more individuals to adopt an active lifestyle. Furthermore, the emerging trend of micro trips is anticipated to drive market growth in the projected period. There is a growing demand for luxury travel centered around wellness, with travelers actively searching for experiences, travel plans, and products customized for aspects like health, fitness, nutrition, appearance, sleep, and mindfulness.

Based on a 2021 American Express survey, 76% of participants expressed their intent to dedicate a larger portion of their travel budget to enhance their overall well-being. Additionally, 55% stated their willingness to spend more on wellness activities for future vacations. Despite several spas and health retreats experiencing closures due to the pandemic, the Global Wellness Institute foresees a strong recovery. They project an annual growth rate of 17% and estimate the market value to reach USD 150 billion by 2025.

Upscale travelers highly favor the incorporation of digital and mobile technologies at every stage of their journey, starting from planning and booking to on-site and post-travel experiences. To cater to this audience, luxury travel brands should deliver a seamless and genuine brand experience at every interaction point, incorporating user-generated content. Innovations in this realm encompass Virtual Reality previews and mobile control over IoT-enabled in-room preferences. These advancements can tailor guest experiences and enhance overall customer satisfaction.

A rising trend is lifestyle tourism driven by collaborations between various brands, enticing high-end travelers with unique brand experiences. Hotels are partnering with the designers & galleries for exclusive interiors, fashion and beauty brands for premium vacation & spa packages, and luxury transportation providers for comprehensive travel experiences. A prime example is the collaboration between the Accor Hotels & Orient Express.
