The new generation of travelers visiting exclusive destinations has its own set of standards when it comes to planning a trip. This includes everything, from choosing a destination, accommodation, services, experiences, and more. 

What should satisfy the world's deluxe travelers is meeting the highest standards within the five areas that begin with the letter C: Culture, Cuisine, Community, Content, and Customization. 

Experienced travelers are not satisfied with basic tourist arrangements, they want more, they want something unique, once in a lifetime, private, exclusive... Since we understand these needs, we tried our best to present you with some of the features and definitions of these crucial areas, starting with the letter C

1. The first letter C - Culture

Based on U.S. research, about a third of travelers choose a destination that is fit to satisfy their curiosity for exploring other cultures. We all like the exotic, something we don't see every day, and we enjoy traveling far from home. While meeting people of other nations, and cultures, and exploring their traditional heritage, we get to discover hidden crafts, arts and hear impressive historical stories. 

Sometimes, visiting tourist destinations is an opportunity to experience the life of Parisian nobles, Egyptian pharaohs, or Vikings and feel powerful. Every tourist will gladly visit several museums and take valuable local souvenirs home as a memory of the destination.

 It's best to choose a location based on the culture and the historical period you're specifically interested in and passionate about. And when it comes to distant lands, don't forget to research the culture of the country you're going to in advance - it will help you feel more at home.

2. The second C - Cuisine

Dining in the world's best exclusive restaurants is one of the epitomes of an elite lifestyle. Besides, local cuisine is often what tourists spend the most money on. What should satisfy every traveler is the high quality and authenticity of the food, as well as the restaurant service, hygiene, and ambiance. 

New, never-tried flavors leave strong impressions, and we often remember a destination by the smell or taste we felt there. For example, the next time you smell saffron, you'll remember that one wonderful winter in Tunisia, and when you bite into a fresh coconut, you'll be teleported to your honeymoon in Hawaii.

3. The third C - Community

When we are far from home, we still want to get a feeling of belonging to someone and something. Luxury arrangements often include flights on private planes, small group tours, or stays in exclusive hotel resorts, where you have the opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers. Companionship on trips should be unobtrusive but easily accessible. 

What is most important is that people are friendly and that the atmosphere is pleasant. Getting in touch with the community on the road is not only based on the connection with the guide or your group but also on contact with locals.

After all, today, the community with whom we want to share impressions from the trip is not only in our surroundings but on social networks. That's why it's good when your hotel, tourist platform, or the place you visit has its profile on social media, where you can leave comments, engage in a discussion, and get additional information. 

4. The fourth C - Content

Everyone who travels likes to experience as many different contents as possible and gain as many different impressions. These include tourist attractions, services, excursions, extra tours, private activities, exploring cultural heritage, organized themed evenings, and much more. 

The richer the travel program, the destination is more attractive. This content can be specially personalized according to the passenger's needs. If you're going to Turkey, you won't want to miss the Turkish night with belly dancers, and if you're going to the Maldives, you better prepare for scuba diving. Feel free to check tourist brochures and websites in advance. The richness of the content offered is often proportional to the quality of the trip.

5. The fifth C - Customization

Travelers, especially those visiting deluxe destinations, love it when their trip is exclusively orchestrated to meet their wishes and needs. What is particularly valuable and what makes tailor-made trips special is that someone, based on your specific requirements, took the time and effort to organize your trip from the accommodation, transportation, and on-site tours so that they suit you and only you perfectly!

So, for example, you can look for tours designed to avoid ticket lines and crowds, accommodations for those traveling with pets and who want to enjoy silence, or reservations at exclusively vegan local restaurants. 

Many destinations offer personalization of tourist tours on the spot, and the more special options the traveler has, the more satisfied he is. 

Remember these five Cs by heart and you will never miss checking important things before launching on your trip! Leave everything else in our hands!
