Emerging Destinations
Montenegro (#21)
56
The outstanding One&Only Portonovi
drives Montenegro’s increased popularity,
supported by other luxury developments
around the Bay of Kotor. Short private jet
flight times and a strong quality-to-cost ratio
make it a strong proposition, especially
for groups. Clients enjoy the ease of
yacht charters and the surprise of a new
destination, only 90 minutes from home.
Total number
of countries visited
Netherlands (#22)
The impact of the Netherlands’ major shift
in tourism policy is now reflected in the
Czech Republic, with the country positioned
as a luxury destination rather than a place
to party. Major hotel brands Rosewood
and Mandarin Oriental recently opened in
Amsterdam, reflecting a new type of visitor.
Clients appreciate the country’s accessibility,
ease and strong design sensibility.
Japan (#15)
After two trending years, Japan is now
established as a long-haul favourite. Clients
typically combine several destinations in one
complex itinerary, with Tokyo and Kyoto as
mainstays and many local activities included.
They value Japan’s authentic, experience-rich
travel and the contrast between locations,
all supported by a consistently high service
culture.
Bhutan (#32)
Bhutan appeals to couples seeking spiritual
depth and unspoiled nature. Its carefully
controlled visitor numbers help preserve
exclusivity and authenticity, while improved
flight connections are making access easier,
although still challenging. An abundance
of luxury hotel brands give clients
confidence in the service, but the reason
to travel is a meaningful, transformational
travel experience.
Morocco (#17)
Now 17th and likely to climb further with
the new direct flight between Prague and
Marrakech, Morocco combines culture,
design and diverse experiences. It appeals to
a broad mix of clients, who value how easily
cities can be paired with desert, mountain or
beach stays. The exceptional standard and
choice of Morocco’s luxury hotels is another
divisive factor.
