The payment service provider Flywire just dropped its latest annual report on the travel industry – and this time, it’s all about ultra luxury.

"Travel agents are critical to achieving ultra luxury experiences."

According to the Flywire Travel Report, the majority of UHNW customers cannot imagine planning their vacation without the help of a travel advisor. Particularly interesting: the proportion among the youngest age group surveyed (18-44 years) is actually the highest: 91 percent of them stated: "Not without my travel advisor!"

... of survey participants are convinced that travel agents are the best way to create personalized travel experiences.

That's why UHNW Clients book with Travel Advisors:

... because they have the expertise on destinations, activities and suppliers.

... because they solve problems should they suddenly arise before or during the trip.

... because they have a deep understanding of the client's personal travel preferences.

... because they represent an additional "safety net" for the traveler.

... of UHNW clients book their trips three to four months in advance. Another 20 percent book less than one month in advance.

"Ultra-luxury clients like to have something to look forward to."

They avoid the crowds and like to switch to the off-season: UHNW clients like to travel often and are very flexible. Accordingly, 94 percent also say that travel is no longer restricted to certain seasons these days.

The UHNW Client in a Nutshell:

... can travel at almost any time thanks to hybrid working models.

... prefer the off-season to avoid crowds and heat.
