Global luxury travel market trends

Overview

The luxury travel sector is experiencing significant growth as travelers increasingly prioritize high-cost experiences. Data from the third quarter of 2026 indicates that insured trips costing $30,000 or more rose 27.2 percent year-over-year, while trips under $10,000 saw a decline of 2.3 percent. This trend is supported by a 13.3 percent year-over-year growth in RevPAR for luxury hotels during the first half of 2026, contrasting with declines in the economy hotel segment.

A Deloitte report, “Global Powers of Luxury 2026,” projects that luxury travel spending will increase by 36.2 percent compared to 2025. Growth is being driven by the ultra-wealthy segment through personalized experiences and private tours. Specifically, reservations through the Virtuosa system rose by 59 percent for the autumn period, with further growth anticipated in November.
