""I keep seeing people who have been liberated with a sense of total reinvention. They feel like a new person," one hotelier confided, candidly but anonymously. "Some people want to test that freedom.""
"Esther Perel, the relationship guru who is big on what she calls 'erotic intelligence,' has been reminding us for years that affairs are rarely about the other person, and more about wanting to feel alive. (Ideally somewhere with 24- hour room service and a discreet concierge.)"
Widespread use of GLP-1 weight-loss injections has changed luxury travel demand and guest behavior. Guests are eating less and arriving thinner at five-star properties, often feeling newly confident and reinvented. A discreet rise in 'affair travel' appears as some guests pair transformed bodies with different partners while traveling. Hoteliers report guests seeking to test newfound freedom and experience a renewed sense of self. Affairs frequently reflect a desire to feel alive rather than focus on the other person. Exotic locales, indulgent service, and shopping pleasures amplify the impulse to travel for reinvention, altering spending and concierge requests.
