The variety of experiences to be had in the United States, from the sun-scorched deserts of its wild west to the vibrant cities of its coasts, need no introduction, and Fiji's inclusion on the list reflects this year's island-hopping trend, as luxury travelers seek comfortable climates and stunning ocean views.
Thailand holds a special place in the heart of millennial respondents, surpassing Japanand France in 2016 as their destination of choice, with its welcoming culture and developed tourist industry hard to top. Japan, South Korea and Europe all showed sharp declines among this demographic, as millennials look beyond traditional destinations in pursuit of exotic new adventures.

Over a third (37%) of respondents experienced their most memorable travel experience of the year outside of Chinese national holidays, making the most of the smaller crowds of tourists for enhanced enjoyment. Chinese New Year accounted for 24%, and is considered a suitable time to travel due to the lower likelihood of being affected by business issues or overtime at work.

In planning a suitable travel itinerary, fine-tuned packages offered by travel agencies (27%) and fully customized packages (23%) were the most popular methods.

Luxury travelers are becoming more assertive in their choice of destination, with 64% viewing themselves as the primary decision maker.
