Privacy is the "New Ultimate Luxury", Amex report finds

“Privacy is the New Ultimate Luxury”. That was one of the top insights concluded in a survey conducted in January of consumers from seven countries, including Australia, to gauge their sentiment towards travel.

The study found there is considerable pent-up demand from consumers looking forward to travelling again, with nearly 9 out of 10 people saying that having a trip planned in the future gives them something to look forward to. More than half of those polled said they miss travelling so much they are willing to book a trip now, even if they might be forced to cancel it in the future.
