What’s driving the surge in luxury travel post-pandemic?

In this episode of Travel Market Life, we sit down with Robin Lawther, Vice President of Expedia TAAP, to uncover the fascinating shifts shaping the future of luxury travel. With nearly 2,900 high-end agencies under his belt, Robin gives us an insider’s perspective on how affluent travellers are redefining luxury in a post-COVID world.

From the rise of "revenge travel" to the growing desire for personalised, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, we explore why high-net-worth individuals are more eager than ever to invest in extraordinary journeys. Robin explains how luxury travellers are turning away from cookie-cutter packages in favour of bespoke itineraries that reflect their unique preferences, making the role of travel agents more critical than ever.

We also explore how luxury hotels are stepping up their game—offering everything from exclusive dining experiences to tailored resort credits that go beyond the typical five-star treatment. Robin shares how these partnerships between agents and hoteliers create seamless, unforgettable trips for clients who demand nothing less than perfection.
