Some recent studies in 2016 on luxury
travellers have shown that over two to three years the luxury travellers have
chosen to go for adventurous vacations instead of comfortable and conventional
trips.
The results have suggested that over 90% of
the luxury travellers choose to visit adventurous travel locations like
Iceland, Ecuador, Chile, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Peru, Cuba, Antarctica, North
Pole, South Africa and Australia instead of choosing luxurious destinations in
Europe. But the main reason behind the changing pattern is not yet clear to the
experts. It is estimated that the current political situation in the formerly
popular destinations and the continuous terror threats are evoking the
travellers to choose unconventional destinations and be daredevils. The luxury
travellers are looking for more active holidays over the lazy and relaxing
ones.
The study shows that recently the
globetrotters are opting for the adrenaline rush inducing activities like
trekking, kayaking, biking, scuba diving, wildlife safari, cruise expedition
and several others.
The survey reports also unveiled that
almost 41 per cent of the travellers are between 50 and 65, where 24 per cent
tourists are between 35 and 50 and 21 per cent are above the age of 65. The
study also suggests that apart from the solo travellers and honeymooners, group
of friends and families are going for these luxury adventure trips.
According to industry experts, the new
trend is about to give rise to the luxury hotels and other accommodations in
the unconventional travel destinations. They have also predicted that the trend
is going to help the small cruising industry to earn more revenue and overall
growth. With an increased demand, the small cruises might add some more finer
facilities in the cabins for the travellers to enjoy.
