❄️ The recipe for the perfect winter getaway? ❄️   According to our 2025 Luxury Travel Trends Report, it's all about relaxation (a priority for 78% of travellers), a bit of spa indulgence (61% love a good treatment), and scenic winter walks (45% fancy a countryside ramble or a coastal stroll).   With 59% opting for the slower pace of ‘slow travel,’ there’s no better time to trade festive chaos for roaring fires, Michelin-starred dining, and a suite you’ll never want to leave.   🔍 Explore the full report to uncover more insights into what’s shaping luxury travel in 2025: https://lnkd.in/eaMFw8DY   #luxurytravel #pobhotels #traveltrends2025 ALTIANT
