HOSPITALITY & MARKETING
SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS WITH HOSPITABLE HOUSE RULES & GREAT COMMUNICATIONS
Crafting house rules effectively is an art, a perfect balance of clear but cheerful – clearful! Plus, when guests send questions or requests that indicate they might inadvertently – or intentionally – cause issues, responding in a friendly but firm way heads off problems while maintaining a positive relationship.
HOSTING FOR THE LONG-TERM WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN MIND
85% of travelers want to stay in sustainable accommodations, and 3 in 5 are willing to pay more for them. Can your property win these travelers while protecting the planet? (Yes, it can!)
EXTENDING HOSPITALITY THROUGH INCLUSIVITY & SAFETY
LGBTQ+ travel is a $218 billion travel niche, and 60% of these travelers rate safety as a top priority. Black travelers spent nearly $109 billion on travel in the U.S. in 2019, but 42% feel unwelcome in their destination. 89% of women routinely take extreme safety precautions when they travel. Safety and inclusivity are non-negotiables for travelers – and big wins for hosts.
MAKING GREATER PALM SPRINGS VACATIONS ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
61 million American adults have a disability. Travelers with disabilities have the desire to travel more, and do travel more than any underrepresented group. Still, there is a significant lack of accessible STR nationwide. Upgrading your property to be more accessible is easier than you think! There are dozens of simple, stylish ways to welcome more travelers without major renovations.
