When you think of luxury travel, do you picture private jets, mega-yachts, exclusive islands, and free-flowing Cristal champagne? Yes, extravagance plays a part in luxury travel – but there\u2019s so much more to it than that. We dive into five of the most common misconceptions about luxury travel – and why they\u2019ve got it all wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Luxury travel doesn\u2019t give you meaningful experiences<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is often assumed that luxury travellers only want to see the glossy icons and polished attractions of a destination\u2026 but we\u2019ve found this to be one of the most common misconceptions about luxury travel. More luxury travellers are looking for authentic and meaningful experiences, where they can really get to the heart of a destination. At Luxury Gold, we know a great adventure is all about meaningful experiences and the people you meet, and that\u2019s why our guests love our special <\/span>VIP experiences<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Chairman\u2019s Collection<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Make Travel Matter Experiences<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You could meet Tracey at her Irish farmhouse for a home-hosted culinary experience. Or ride a rickshaw in Jaipur, driven by local women from low-income households. You\u2019ll hear their stories first-hand and help support their families and communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll take you behind the scenes for private after-hour visits to places like Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace in <\/span>Austria<\/span><\/a>, Luxor Temple in <\/span>Egypt<\/span><\/a>, Doge’s Palace in <\/span>Venice<\/span><\/a>, and the Imperial Citadel in <\/span>Vietnam<\/span><\/a>. You\u2019ll explore these remarkable sites with expert guides and meet people personally involved with the history of these places.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can even meet legendary locals with exclusive experiences from The Chairman\u2019s Collection, like the <\/span>Duchess of Northumberland<\/span><\/a> in England or <\/span>Princess Anita von Hohenberg<\/span><\/a> in Austria. Meet <\/span>Patrick Guinness<\/span><\/a> in Ireland or Marchese Mazzei at his ancestral Tuscan home, <\/span>Castello di Fonterutoli<\/span><\/a>.

\n2. It isn\u2019t responsible or sustainable<\/b><\/h3>\n

Luxury travel is often portrayed as billionaires and A-listers waltzing around the world on private jets and mega-yachts. But that\u2019s not the whole story. Luxury travel doesn\u2019t have to make a massive carbon footprint – it can be a responsible and sustainable experience that gives back to the planet. And we know that our luxury travel experiences are only enhanced and enriched by our pledge to travel responsibly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is so crucial to leave a positive impact on the people and places we visit, so Luxury Gold has made a commitment to Make Travel Matter through the TreadRight Foundation, our not-for-profit organisation. Our luxury tours include Make Travel Matter experiences that support local employment, preserve history and culture, and protect and rehabilitate wildlife populations around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Luxury

@luxurygoldvacations<\/p><\/div>\n

Some of our remarkable Make Travel Matter experiences include helping to save the Iberian Lynx in <\/span>Portugal<\/span><\/a> and preserving the Giant\u2019s Causeway, <\/span>Northern Ireland.<\/span><\/a> You could help protect the waterfalls of Plitvice, <\/span>Croatia.<\/span><\/a> Or meet traditional weavers in <\/span>Peru<\/span><\/a> and supporting the people working to keep this 10,000-year-old Andean textile tradition alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re also committed to The Travel Corporation\u2019s <\/span>five-year sustainability strategy<\/span><\/a>, based on the United Nations’ Global Goal, to address our impact on people, wildlife, and the planet. So you can enjoy a responsible luxury travel experience with Luxury Gold, safe in the knowledge that you\u2019re leaving a lasting, positive legacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n3. It’s just for wealthy retirees<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most prevalent misconceptions about luxury travel is that it\u2019s only for wealthy, older people. However, the luxury traveller cannot be boxed in by one definition. Our guests come from a diverse range of backgrounds, from young and old couples to solo travellers and multi-generational families. We offer them a true luxury experience – the ability to create a personalised, handcrafted experience to suit each unique traveller, regardless of age or interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n4. It only means 5-star city hotel chains<\/b><\/h3>\n

When we think about luxury travel, we often picture crisp white sheets, glitzy furnishings, and top-floor city views. And while we do love a 5-star city hotel, our luxury tours certainly don\u2019t end there. We scour the globe to uncover the most unique and <\/span>exceptional hotels<\/span><\/a> that offer luxurious comfort and excellent service, all while immersing you in the culture and history of your destination. Luxury travel isn\u2019t just about 5-star stays – it\u2019s about 5-star experiences. We hand-select hotels with a story, where you meet local hosts, and connect with your destination on a deeper level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lion

@luxurygoldvacations<\/p><\/div>\n

You could journey to the heart of the South African wilderness at the <\/span>Lion Sands Game Reserve<\/span><\/a>, a luxury safari lodge where you stargaze and watch the local wildlife from your deck. Stay at <\/span>Ashford Castle<\/span><\/a> in Ireland, a 12th-century estate where contemporary luxury meets historic grandeur and you can roam 350 acres of lush woodlands. Sleep on the edge of a rushing river surrounded by the beautiful Fiordland at Milford Sound Lodge in New Zealand<\/a>. Or wake up to views of the beautiful Mont Blanc and the Jet d\u2019Eau on Lake Geneva at <\/span>Hotel d\u2019Angleterre<\/span><\/a>. With elegant design, original artwork, and cocktails served at the famous Leopard Bar and Cigar Lounge, this is an unforgettable luxury stay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n5. Active people won’t enjoy luxury travel<\/b><\/h3>\n

A common misconception about luxury travel is that it’s all about lounging on yachts or soaking in spas. For some luxury travellers, peaceful, relaxing experiences are the goal. But if you like to get active on your holidays, you\u2019ll find that luxury travel is for you too. We offer different activity levels and ways to travel on our luxury trips, from a leisurely to an active pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our dynamic tours feature longer distances, with 4+ miles of walking on some days with steep hills. You’ll also have a variety of morning start times so you can seize the day, and regular evening activities to maximise your time. On our <\/span>Ultimate Italy<\/span><\/a> tour, you can take a walking tour through the cobbled streets of Rome to discover the hidden gems, and cruise the Cinque Terre coastline, dipping into the ocean and exploring medieval quarters. On our <\/span>Majestic Japan<\/span><\/a> tour, you\u2019ll explore the indigenous bamboo forest at Giouji Temple and ride the Kachi-Kachi Ropeway Cable Car in Mount Fuji. If you want to turn it up a notch, talk to your Travelling Concierge about how you can pack even more adventure into your luxury trip.<\/span><\/p>\n
