The rich and famous have always had the benefit of having things exactly how they want them, whether it was clothes, homes or cars. Nowadays, the culture of made to measure for the wealthy has extended to holidays with more people cashing in on vacations and trips that are especially designed for their tastes, styles and pockets. The days of conventional travel are fast becoming a thing of the past for the privileged. Today, those who can are working with travel consultants to curate the exact experience they want, and are assigning healthy budgets to make it happen.
Wanderlust and travel are some of the most popular hashtags on social media and people love to show off their wonderful holiday experiences. As a result the novelty of just travelling has worn off and now people want experiences that are rare and unique; and that’s where customized vacations come in. The boom in the need for unique experiences has led to the emergence of high-end travel agencies who dedicate themselves to providing wealthy customers with experiences that suit their specific tastes and needs.
The key trends in customized vacations are specialized trips and highly personalized trips. Personalized trips give travellers the chance to feel like royalty with a concierge at your every beck and call and luxury cars that can take you anywhere. These trips have been augmented by the partnerships many luxury hotels have with some of the world’s most exclusive fashion houses like Versace and Armani so your holiday gets another layer of opulence with bedding and furniture crafted by the world’s most sought after luxury brands. It comes as no surprise that these holidays have become popular with the “new money” crowd who have lots of disposable income to spend on these rare and self-indulgent experiences.
Customized holidays have as a result become popular with wealthy individuals and groups in China who want to travel the world without compromising on the quality they are accustomed to at home. Imagine being able to have a boutique closed so that you and your friends can shop in peace and quiet and having a private jet on call. These are the types of experience you can expect when you pay for these curated holidays.
Depending on the amount of money you have and where you want to go, you can visit the Vatican or go for a private viewing of the British Crown Jewels, and this can be arranged by the world class travel agents that understand that you want an experience very few people can say they have had. In Alaska, you can customise your vacation by choosing the specific activities you want to fill your schedule up with. Depending on your hobbies and preferences, this could be bear viewing or fishing or simply hanging out with a clan of penguins on a floating iceberg.
