In this episode of Destination Discourse, hosts Stuart Butler and Adam Stoker sit down with Scott Oklin, CMO of Visit Anaheim, to break down the new definition of luxury travel. Spoiler: it’s not just five-star hotels and private jets anymore.

We dig into:
✅ Why the definition of “luxury” is shifting (Hint: It’s more about experiences than opulence)
✅ How multi-generational families, wellness seekers, and adventure travelers are reshaping luxury tourism
✅ The biggest mistake destinations make when marketing high-end travel
✅ Why uncompromised hospitality is the new gold standard for luxury
✅ How DMOs can create personalized, high-end experiences without a luxury price tag
✅ Tactical strategies for marketing to luxury travelers in today’s tourism landscape

🚨 If your destination isn’t adapting to the changing luxury traveler, you’re leaving money on the table.
