Luxury Travel Fair – a day to (mentally) escape the economic gloom…
November 17th, 2008
Carol tells all about last Friday’s visually enticing Luxury Travel Fair…
I had a great day out at the Condé Nast Luxury Travel Fair in London last week.
Mingling with sellers of luxury travel experiences including exotic escapes in the Seychelles, safaris in Africa, relaxing breaks on the French Riviera and out-back adventures in Australia, it was a great way of tuning out the bad economic news. And what a collection there was!
I swooned over the visual prompts of miles of pure white sandy beach, magnificent scenery, gorgeous food, beauty treatments and much more. And succumbed to so many invitations to enter free draws that if I don’t win at least a cruise down the Nile, I will be very cross.
Lots of promoters of these fab holidays are small, web-based entrepreneurs; often with years of specialist experience. It’s encouraging that the internet has allowed many of these niche companies to emerge fast into the big league.
Fingers crossed I’ll be in Barbados in 2009!
