Off-the-beaten-path • Travel planners are now concentrating on off-the-beaten places as more and more luxury travelers favor such destinations to explore during their holidays.

South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Botswana and Zambia stand out as most popular for adventure tourism in the luxury market. This growing demand from the part of luxury tourists is also creating a requirement for new destinations. However, suppliers can only meet the demand for new destinations at a higher price; the factors for a higher price include limited air service, higher operating cost for hoteliers, energy production, importation of items like food produce and wines, and the cost of training new recruits to the hospitality industry. http://afmairlinetickets.blogspot.com/2013/04/international-luxury-travel-market.html
