The perks of the Gifted Travel Network Luxury Travel Symposium that I attended last week 1) sailing down a river in Europe while learning 2) mimosas. I am still recovering from nonstop networking, content, and excursions. One lesson from last week is that luxury is highly personal, it does not mean the same thing for everyone. Thus, it is important for me to understand exactly what my clients are looking for in their travel experience. For me, luxury travel involves a high level or service and access to elevated, authentic experiences. Our supplier partners in attendance were given the chance to highlight some of the special experiences they have created for clients: *VIP access to a F1 Grand Prix! *Private access to the Arc de Triomphe terrace after hours! *Lessons with a professional soccer player! *Dining at the home of Spain's top female chef! *Recreating a honeymoon to celebrate the anniversary of a couple with a cancer diagnosis (this one made me cry!) *Taylor Swift tickets in Europe! *and so many more, the sky is the limit with the passionate business owners that we have access to! Even with our luxury travel partners that are not curating experiences from scratch, stories of staff at resorts and cruise lines overhearing a client mention an item that could make a trip better and then having the ability to make those items appear for clients are examples of luxury. Luxury travel providers go beyond and provide the element of surprise and delight in a trip that makes all the difference. Luxury travel advisors are an extension of luxury travel providers and give you access to the best of the best! #exploremore #familytravel #luxurytravel #virtuosotraveladvisor #sovirtuoso

Want to gain some insight about the new psychology of luxury travel? What do luxury travelers want, what is the latest shift in mindset? Here is a quick read, my latest from Forbes: a fascinating interview with Marchay luxury travel expert @joannakuflik

💡 In last week's Agent Insight column, Travel Counsellors' Elliott Rouse gave us a breakdown of how you can avoid getting swept away by the allure of luxury and guarantee your clients the indulgent break of their dreams https://lnkd.in/eakTaQmY

The new psychology of luxury travel since the pandemic is changing. Focus is now very much on long slow travel which is sometimes combined with work, authentic and immersive experiences where travellers can really experience the destination, wellness is high on the agenda and bespoke facilities and experiences are key. There is a willingness to travel in the off season to avoid the crowds and get a taste like the locals do and as we have seen in other trend reports, destination events is another way to plan holidays depending on big festivals or gigs. Would you agree this is where travel behaviours are moving to? #travelbehaviour #luxurytravel #tourismtrends

Creating Memorable Guest Experiences: It's All in the Details I used to work as a travel administrator for two powerful, successful women in the luxury travel industry, and I truly value that opportunity. I gained a deeper understanding of the significance of attention to detail in the travel industry from the leaders of Design Travel Group Marienne Guberina and GG Inspired Travel Gloria Gammo from Australia. Their dedication to crafting an unforgettable guest experience is something I greatly admire. All I can say is that I want to be like these two strong, independent women in five to ten years. I appreciate your trust in me from the very start. Allow me to share some of the best practices that I have learned from you. 1. Ensuring that the itinerary of the guest contains all the necessary information and is free of mistakes in terms of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 2. It is essential to accurately update all changes to the schedule made by the airline or other suppliers. 3. A guest information sheet is crucial in understanding their individual preferences. 4. Requesting the hotel to create personalized welcome notes for the guests. 5. Being organized is one of the key ingredients in the hospitality industry. Without a doubt, they rank among Australia's top advisors in luxury travel. They are experts in developing valuable and genuine travel experiences. #HOTL752 #luxurytravel #craftingmemories #genuineconnections Sara Harrel
