The new face of luxury: No one holidays anymore, they have 'experiences'

Tailored luxury experiences with the most minute of details charted out for discerning travellers is the way forward

Luxury travel isn’t just about personal butlers, seven-star resort stays and limo airport shuttle rides anymore. It isn’t simply about making Instagrammable memories at Ibiza, the world’s enduring party capital. Or a multi-course dinner at the Eiffel Tower. Or a Maldives hideaway whose infinity pool opens up into the ocean. Instead, travel luxury is about experiences suited to fit the increasingly picky customer to a T.

“One used to think that Indians didn’t go on vacations to ski or go horse-riding, but all of that has changed in the past few years,” says Amit Kalsi of Delhi-based Experiential Travel Journeys.
