As the definition of luxury travel gradually changes, contemporary travelers' expectations for travel are no longer limited to luxury facilities and material enjoyment, but are more focused on the precipitation and in-depth experience of the soul. For this reason, Club Med's “Exclusive Collection” was born to meet the needs of these travelers who pursue unique and exploratory spirit. Liu Yuhui, general manager of Taiwan Kejing, revealed: “As of this year, sales in the Taiwan market have surged by nearly 50%, making Taiwan one of the fastest growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region.” The brand also plans to launch more resorts in the future, including the Kiroro Peak Resort in Hokkaido, which is about to be upgraded, and the Malaysian Sabah Jungle Resort, which is expected to open in 2025.
From material luxury to spiritual exploration, new trends in luxury travel after the epidemic
The global tourism market is undergoing a profound change, and the definition of luxury tourism continues to evolve as the needs of travelers change. Rachael Harding, CEO of Club Med's Southeast Asia and Pacific Market Sales Business, pointed out that with the impact of the epidemic, the behavior of passengers has undergone drastic changes. In the past, travelers were accustomed to changing their destinations frequently in a short period of time and pursuing “check-in” fast travel; now, they prefer to stay in a single location for longer, deeply integrate into the local culture and environment, and make travel a comprehensive spiritual exploration journey.

This shift has greatly increased the market demand for high-end, long-term vacations, especially in the luxury tourism field. According to market forecasts, the global luxury tourism market will reach US$1.5 to US$2 trillion in 2030 and continue to expand at an annual growth rate of nearly 8%. It is worth noting that modern travelers’ definition of luxury is no longer just magnificent facilities and luxurious services. What they value more is the experience that can inspire the five senses during travel and the deep connection with the local natural environment and culture.
