Now that LVMH owns the Venice Simplon Orient-Express and Belmond Hotels including Venice’s Hotel Cipriani, Hotel Splendido in Portofino, Cheval Blanc in Courchevel and over 40 other deluxe hotels and safari camps worldwide, expect to see an even more integrated fashion vision. Luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Céline, Givenchy and more will drop anchor with the increasing demand for unique experiences and travel in the luxury sector and among younger people.

The upcoming early fall trip on the Eastern & Oriental Express between Bangkok and Singapore — one officially dedicated to tiger conservation — is an excellent example of LVMH anchoring its image in conservation, the arts, and global culture.
