Is it possible to improve on the luxury vacation experience?
 
It can and will happen in the metaverse. Most people envision a gathering of youngsters playing video games while immersed in a virtual 3D world when they think of the metaverse. But what if we could use the metaverse to change our travel habits?
 
As it turns out, numerous firms, including DFS and Marriott Bonvoy, are already embracing the metaverse, experimenting with new types of marketing and new methods to provide better experiences, and travellers are reaping the advantages. In this piece, we’ll look at how the metaverse assists in creating more immersive luxury travel experiences and how these experiences are expected to evolve in the future.
 
The metaverse is shaping to be the next step in evolving social media and cloud collaboration tools. It’ll be a gathering spot for friends, where we’ll exchange tales and make new ones. It’ll also be a location where we can get closer to our favourite celebrities, influencers, and companies, particularly those in the luxury travel sector, than ever before.
 
Since the release of the online game Second Life in 2003, luxury companies have been experimenting with the metaverse. Second Life is the virtual home of Jean Paul Gaultier, BMW, and Mercedes. In terms of luxury travel, DFS, a Louis Vuitton-owned luxury travel firm, recently hopped on the bandwagon by launching its Lunar New Year ad in the metaverse, collaborating with well-known space influencers. Marriott Bonvoy contributed by launching a collection of travel-themed non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, in December.
 
The famous travel program, which incorporates 30 of the world’s greatest hotel brands, made its metaverse premiere with three pieces of virtual art presented at Art Basel Miami Beach 2021, oneof the world’s leading contemporary art exhibits. The three NFTs and 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy points were given to three lucky winners and made headlines.
 
The most apparent advantage of the metaverse for travel is the ability to visit any location on the planet without ever leaving your sofa. Immersive VR experiences are the closest we’ll get to the real thing, which opens up the possibility of genuinely exploring a destination to our hearts’ content and deciding what we want to do once we arrive.
You won’t need to look at listings of local restaurants or attractions and what they have to offer because you’ll be able to stroll around and experience them for yourself.

The metaverse will integrate user reviews and ratings, so you’ll be able to read reviews of the stores, cafés, and restaurants that grab your attention simply by strolling about and glancing at the many stores, cafés, and restaurants you come across along the road.
 
Luxury businesses may also open virtual copies of their actual storefronts in the metaverse, allowing you to see the things they sell ahead of time. Try them on your avatar to see how the exact item will appear, and you can even buy it and have the physical version mailed to you ahead of time.
 
The metaverse gets much more powerful when it comes to lodgings. You’ll be able to take a virtual reality tour of each hotel and see the rooms up close. There will be no more disappointing balcony vistas or smaller-than-expected mattresses. Luxury hotels will ensure that everything in the metaverse looks and feels just like the actual thing, so when you book a reservation, you’ll always know what you’re paying for.Luxury travel is all on excellent service, and nothing makes a trip more memorable than having your concierge identify and arrange unique experiences, fashionable restaurants, aeroplane tickets, and the most fabulous boutique boutiques in town, among other things.
 
This sort of service is often provided over the phone or through chat, but in the metaverse, you will be able to meet your concierge and view them as an avatar just like you. This improved contact will open up new opportunities and alternative methods for a concierge to assist you and make your vacation special.
 
The way luxury tourists view the globe will change as the metaverse progresses. Travel agents using avatars would give personalized, real-time suggestions for popular locations and experiences. It will be a whole new ballgame regarding what travelling means for those who can afford it, with personalized, avatar-based concierge services, beta launches for new premium destinations, and a more immersive virtual brand experience where your every want is fulfilled; there’s no knowing what fresh and exciting possibilities for luxury travel may lie ahead.
