As 2026 nears, luxury travel is shifting from excess to meaning, emotional resonance and restorative experiences. Destinations are becoming more neurodivergent-inclusive, with Dubai and Gatwick leading as the first autism-certified location and airport, prioritising calm, clarity and care. Literary-led “readaways” are rising, with book lovers choosing destinations inspired by novels or travelling with their book clubs for more mindful, story-driven exploration.

The main goal of Fox Communications the UK & Ireland, agency of TLN is to "bring luxury to life". To create in-depth strategic insights to their global partners, they study and analyze new trends.
