After two years of staying home, luxury travel clients are planning bucket-list trips and vacations with family and friends

Dream destinations, multigenerational vacations and a desire for unique experiences are some of the trends driving luxury travel for the summer in 2022, according to travel advisors from the Global Travel Collection (GTC).

The United Kingdom tops the list of international destinations booked by GTC travel advisors, a spot it’s held for the last five years. Other places in the top 15 include Italy, France, Israel, Spain, Switzerland, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Greece and Germany, followed by South Africa, Ireland, Australia, the Dominican Republic and Portugal.

Luxury travel advisors with GTC brands report that their clients are excited to travel again, with some booking multiple trips. And they’re willing to spend more to get the vacation experience they want. But that high demand is driving up prices, and hotels are stretched thin due to staffing shortages, limiting availability. 

Luxury travelers are eager to make up for the time they couldn’t spend seeing the world with friends and family over the past two years.

With rising prices and limited availability in some vacation spots, luxury advisors are putting their skills and experience to the test.
