The word luxury has surely been redefined over time (and with good reason, too). The original Latin word (luxuria) was used to describe lust, excess, and extravagance. But while our grandparents interpreted luxury as a lifestyle available only to the rich, famous, and elite members of society, academics at Cornell University recently shared that luxury has been “democratized over time.” Who could have imagined that the word luxury would be one day associated with egalitarianism?
Where Upscale Travel is Enjoyed by Ordinary Travelers Like You
Also during their panel discussion on the topic of luxury, those Cornell University scholars found that contemporary generations “get more pleasure from experiences than material things.” As such, it comes as no surprise that the travel industry has especially benefitted from the redefinition of luxury. Doors have been opened for people from all demographics to take holidays that are more extravagant than their grandparents ever dreamed of.
These days, luxury is delivered via customer-centricity, emotional connections, and the kind of service that engenders loyalty. Many world class hotels today make an effort to go beyond just recognizing guests the moment they arrive and “greet them by name before they’ve even reached the front desk,” according to Luxury Columnist Magazine. Isn’t this the very definition of the way you’d like to be welcomed? If so, few resorts work as hard to achieve guest loyalty as Itz’ana Resort & Residences on Belize’s trendy Placencia Peninsula.
