65 Customized Travel Experiences

From Airline Shisha Services to Luxury Jail Hotels

— June 7, 2013 — World
Time and time again, businesses aim to provide consumers with some of the most bizarre, luxurious and opulent customized experiences available in the world.

With the Internet supercharging the speed and availability of products to every inch of the globe, companies are working harder than ever before to offer customers services that no other brand or business can. Though many of these demographics are small and niche, companies are striving to target the luxury client who is willing to save up, travel or simply spend whatever the cost it is to have a once in a lifetime experience.

Services like temporary sleeping pods at airports, hotels on stilts, eateries in mining tunnels and airline shisha parlors are so bizarre and intriguingly creative that costumers around the world will flock to whatever the location to the experience these services only once.
