HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

This is the final part of my What's New For 2013 Blog Series.  What an exciting time to travel!

So, generally what are traveler's looking for?

Costa Rica

Exploring new destinations is quite the pull for travelers.
They want to be the first amongst their friends to say they discovered something new.

Finding authentic experiences in new destinations is tied with having rest and relaxation

Spending Time Together with or reconnecting with loved ones

People are seeking enrichment such as cultural experiences, learning, voluntarism, etc.

• Finally, people are looking for Adventure!

Speaking of ADVENTURE...where do people want to go for their adventure?

• South Africa tops the list
• New Zealand 
• Costa Rica
• Galapagos Islands
• Australia

Because today is Valentine's Day, I wanted to end this Virtuoso Luxe Report and Trends for 2013 with the most popular destinations for ROMANCE.

Italy tops the Romance List followed by French Polynesia, France, Bali and Fiji.

Hilton Moorea, French Polynesia

Here are a few ways to help with your budget:

During shoulder season, I can usually find complementary nights at all the above romantic locations.

Paris, France

Stay with our Virtuoso hotels and I can add amenities such as daily breakfast, resort credits and/or upgrades.

I know alternative locations that will give you a similar experience from a more expensive location.  
*For example, by staying part of your vacation in Moorea rather than staying in Bora Bora the entire time, you can help a budget.





For my next blog, is there anything that you would like me to discuss?  
Please let me know.

Have a Wonderful and ROMANTIC Valentine's Day!!!

The World is Our Playground!
