Adventure Still Awaits: Explore, Relax and Reconnect with VistaJet’s Safe Havens

VistaJet World presents private and safe journeys to keep discovering the world

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2020 / VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company, uncovers a portfolio of private and safe journeys as Members seek to experience exclusive-use escapes and health-enhancing adventures around the world.

During a challenging time with COVID-19, planning and researching future journeys is high on the agenda, and a vast majority – 80% – of global travelers intend to explore as soon as they are able[1]. With privacy and safety becoming paramount, health is being factored into travel choices more than ever before[2]. The concept of safety is also changing. Historically, travelers associated safety only with what happens outside of the aircraft. Now, the journey to the aircraft, the in-cabin experience[3] and the final destination[4] are the driving factors.

As the number of touchpoints significantly decreases when flying private – 20 interactions as opposed to 700 when flying commercial[5] – the travel industry expects to see an increased number of first-time private flyers looking for safer and more reliable alternatives. Research shows that 79% of UHNWIs would be more inclined to travel by private jet than before[6], and this is reflected in VistaJet’s new incoming requests: as of June 2020, 71% are from passengers who have not regularly used business aviation solutions before.

Today, partnering with a network of world-leading travel experts and properties including Abercrombie & Kent, Velaa Private Island, Blue Marble Private, ROAR AFRICA, Entourage Travel, Dean Stott and The Eden Club, the VistaJet Private Office can exclusively facilitate safe point-to-point journeys from flight to destination for Members to enjoy a memorable holiday with the maximum peace of mind – introducing the ultimate notion of private travel.
