Travel Extremes: The Next Frontier of Luxury Adventures

In a world where the boundaries of luxury travel are continuously expanding, we find ourselves at a crossroads between the ultimate adventure and the allure of simplicity. As high-net-worth individuals seek more meaningful, adventurous, and unique experiences, luxury travel is being redefined at both ends of the spectrum. While technology advances drive some look to the stars and space as the next frontier of luxury travel, the pandemic has also given ‘Slow Travel’ greater momentum and a return to simpler luxuries and lifestyles. Join our panel as they delve into how the pandemic has influenced these travel extremes and how the luxury travel industry is adapting to meet these evolving desires.
