Beyond the Room – The Rise of Experiential Travel in Thai Hospitality
Bangkok: Thursday, 31 October 2024
Thailand is more than a destination; it’s a journey of discovery, and today’s travelers want that adventure to be immersive, inclusive, and unforgettable. For Millennials and Gen Z, experience is the ultimate souvenir, with 74% choosing experiences over products (source: Travel Pulse).
Imagine guests stepping into a space that feels like their portal to Thailand’s hidden gems: LGBTQ+ travelers celebrating at Pride events in Bangkok, or eco-conscious visitors exploring sustainable tours in lush jungles and serene coastlines. Inclusive travel is a powerful draw, and Thailand stands out for its welcoming spirit.
Hoteliers, the opportunity to shine is yours. Dive into local partnerships – team up with nearby chefs for an authentic Thai cooking class, or collaborate with tour operators for unique, LGBTQ+-friendly excursions. Plus, with the rise of remote work, guests appreciate flexible packages that mix business with the beauty of Thailand.
Don’t forget tech! Imagine VR previews of local beaches or custom AI recommendations based on travelers’ interests. Stats show 61% of travelers are happy to pay more for eco-friendly choices (source: Booking.com), so green initiatives are a must.
Thailand’s magic is meant to be shared, and creating unique, tailored experiences will make your property a go-to for all. The question is, how will you bring the adventure to life?
