LUXONOMY publishes a global report anticipating what luxury tourism will look like in 2030 and 2050

LUXONOMY™ launches today its new strategic report “The Future of Luxury Tourism: Global Projections for 2030 and 2050”, a pioneering publication that analyzes the trends, risks, and opportunities that will shape the development of premium tourism in the coming decades. Aimed at investors, tour operators, luxury brands, and international organizations, the document offers an unprecedented overview of the sector from a forward-looking, ethical, and profitable perspective.

This report identifies the seven key transformations that will shape the industry: the rise of new generations of ultra-wealthy individuals, the massive integration of artificial intelligence into the travel experience, the reinvention of emerging destinations, new models of regenerative hospitality, the central role of sustainability, the evolution of high-end transportation (including space tourism), and the impact of climate change and geopolitics on the safety and behavior of luxury travelers.

“This report helps to rethink the industry with a 25-year vision. We are no longer just talking about five-star hotels, but about deeply personalized, ethical, and sustainable experiences that will define the new standard of luxury,” explains Pablo Gutiérrez-Ravé Villalón, president of LUXONOMY™ Group.

📊 Key data included in the report:

Luxury tourism will reach €2.5 trillion by 2030 and €6 trillion by 2050.
It is expected that the number of millionaires in the world will increase from 60 million in 2020 to 318 million in 2050, relatively democratizing access to extreme luxury.
80% of premium travelers want to travel more responsibly, and 75% would pay more if they understand how their money is being used.
More than 94% of high-net-worth travelers now include well-being as an essential part of their journey.
Most new luxury hotel openings are concentrated in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Space tourism, hypersonic jets, electric airships, and luxury trains will redefine mobility in the premium segment.
By 2050, the most desired destinations could be the Arctic, Greenland, orbital space, or even the Moon.
