Happy New Year, luxury travelers! As we say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and make some travel plans for the year ahead. New Year’s resolutions can be a great way to focus on self-improvement and making positive changes in our lives. If you need some inspiration for your own resolutions, here are some ideas. And if you already have your own ideas or plans, please share them in the comments! Expand your horizons Make a decision to visit a new destination or try a new type of vacation. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to go on a safari or visit a remote island. This is the year to make it happen! Get off the beaten track While luxury resorts and five-star hotels can be amazing experiences, they can also be completely predictable. Make a resolution to look for more unique and authentic travel experiences this year. Consider staying in a vacation rental, such as a villa or apartment, or booking a private tour with a local guide. Be more sustainable Luxury travel doesn’t have to conflict with environmental responsibility. Make a decision to be more aware of your impact on the places you visit. Look for hotels and resorts that are committed to sustainability, choose green transportation options, and consider offsetting your carbon footprint. Learn a new skill Traveling is an excellent opportunity to learn and experience new things. Make a decision to take a cooking class in Italy, learn to surf in Hawaii, or take a painting workshop in France. Disconnect to reconnect We live in a constantly connected world, and it can be overwhelming at times. Make a decision to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the people and places around you. Consider taking a digital detox vacation or set aside specific times during your travels to unplug.
