Just what is a luxury vacation? Most people think of elegant trips to the wine country, staying in a cozy bed and breakfast, or sipping champaign from the balcony of your penthouse suite overlooking the beach at Maui.
However, luxury travel, or any travel, is about making memories and making dreams come true. Perhaps your tastes run more to beer and hot dogs than champaign and caviar but you can still take part in a luxury vacation.
Every time you travel, you owe it to yourself to have the best of everything-the most elegant accommodations, attentive, quality service, many options to choose from and plenty of events and attractions to make every moment memorable and FUN! Hopefully most travel will fulfill these ideas of a dream vacation-so just how is luxury travel different? What sets luxury travel apart? Who should consider luxury travel?
As a travel consumer, luxury can mean different things to different people. There is no one definition of luxury. Some might think luxury travel is exclusive and glamorous, including 5 star hotels, first class air travel, private dining. Many people equate luxury with quality- quality service, quality meals, quality accommodations and extra pampering. All of these are all important to any traveler.
Today, however, luxury should also mean the creating the ideal vacation for you. What is your personal dream? It can be in any price range, in whatever sort of accommodations you choose and traveling wherever you wish to go.
The idea of luxury shouldn’t just be an indulgence reserved for the very rich. Today luxury can simply mean the chance to get away from everyday stresses, jobs, situations and be pampered. Have someone else make your bed and plan and cook your meals. Sneak in a massage or spa treatment. Let all the details be taken care of while all you do is enjoy!
In short, luxury travel is whatever you want it to be. You can fly first class or travel first class on a cruise or you can bicycle across America and camp out. Wherever you go, whichever type of trip you plan, you owe it to yourself to receive special treatment and you don’t always have to pay a lot to get it. You certainly can pay a lot if you want to-for the bigger suite, the first class seat, the gourmet meals prepared by a famous chef but luxury can also mean relaxing on a beach at sunset just to enjoy the scenery. Sunsets are still free!
Reward yourself with the vacation of your dreams-whether your dream is adventure, relaxation, spiritual, or exotic. You earned it. Make every vacation a luxury vacation.
