Would you like to catch the eye of affluent guests traveling to your destination in the Asia-Pacific? 🛫 With the APAC region being a magnet for high-net-worth individuals, securing a share of this market sounds like a lucrative opportunity. But, to stand out, you need to explore innovative strategies. 🚀 One such strategy is injecting creativity into your upselling approach. For 87% of travelers, “luxury travel” is strongly associated with unique and exclusive experiences, and offering guests the experiences they are looking for is your key to success. Here’s how you can start: ✅ Get familiar with newly emerged guest personas (“Venture Travelists,” “Experience Connoisseurs,” and “Timeless Adventurers”) to tailor your experiences accordingly. ✅ Focus on authenticity and local flair — after all, there’s a reason why guests travel specifically to APAC. ✅ Cater to younger generations and ensure your experiences look “Instagrammable”, so your hotel can benefit from social media visibility.
