Italy is Number One Destination for Luxury Travel in 2017

    CHICAGO, IL, November 17, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to Travel Leaders Group's recent research, Italy wins first position in the list of most popular luxury destinations for 2017. Nearly 84% of the agents who took part in the survey have seen a similar number or an increase in requests for luxury travel compared to last year. Travelers looking for a luxurious experience are opting for customizable options, which allow them to create a personalized itinerary including all the bells and whistles one looks for in a high-end experience abroad. Select Italy (http://selectitaly.com), a prestigious travel company specialized in custom vacations to Italy, offers expertise in private tours, food & wine experiences, hotels & villas, and more. Custom trip planning is becoming the most popular option among travelers looking for professional insight, exclusive access, and high-end experiences in a foreign country, and Select Italy delivers seamless itineraries to the Bel Paese.

As Travel+Leisure accurately puts it, the increasing desire for private, personalized experiences is pushing travelers to consult with industry professionals for FITs (Foreign Independent Travel itineraries). Whether interested in a private after-hours visit of the Sistine Chapel or a tour of Venice by Private Gondola, consulting an agency like Select Italy can help provide the essential information travelers need to organize a high-end luxury vacation.
