After years in the travel industry, I need to say something uncomfortable: luxury travel is destroying what makes travel meaningful.
Im not talking about people enjoying nice hotels or treating themselves to special experiences. Im talking about a systemic shift in how we sell, consume and think about travel. And its creating problems we cant keep ignoring.
Let me be clear: When I say luxury travel, I mean what the industry defines as luxury travel with a high price tag. Thats become the metric. Not thoughtfulness, not cultural immersion, not positive impact. Just cost.
