The May 2022 world trends were dominated by new travel-related innovations, exciting resort and cruise deals, and a variety of luxury luggage launches. Of course, these all point to what has been the welcomed return of global tourism following years of disruption due to the pandemic.
As a result, luxury resort and cruise launches make up a significant portion of the trends included in this list. For example, Atlantis Paradise Island announced that its iconic Bahamas resort would be undergoing multimillion-dollar renovations to offer guests an elevated -- and even more luxurious -- hospitality experience. Meanwhile, Luxury cruise line Silversea announced the launch of its new 728-passenger ship, which boasts an impressive, asymmetrical design and luxurious horseshoe pool.
