Luxury Travel & Lifestyle Trends

Think twice when it comes to communication: becoming more efficient (as in email) may mean becoming less effective. This is more than a clever play on words; it’s an important issue that every business owner must address. This is especially so in the luxury industry, where we are trying to maintain value, quality and customer loyalty in the toughest of times.

Face it, flying these days can be only for the birds but airports around the world are offering fun and soothing options to make the travel experience a little less stressful. It used to be that the only way you could kill time at an airport before a flight was by eating fast food or drinking at a bar. Times have changed and nowadays you can indulge in a massage, mani/pedi or an oxygen session and even karaoke!

To stay in the luxury game, it’s just as important to astound guests with a platinum standard of amenities and services, to elicit the “wow factor” among experienced consumers. In Accenture’s “Customer Satisfaction in the Multi-Polar World” survey, more than half of consumers reported their expectations for better service increased over the past five years. One-third said they were higher than a year ago.
