Grand Pacific Resorts’ Post

From a simple corporate event to an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting mark on guests' minds: Our goal was to seamlessly transition corporate guests of a 5-star resort into returning for unforgettable family vacations. We put together a personalized gift package featuring a stylish Greek-inspired beach tote and a cozy Venetian robe, blending elegance and comfort. These items served as tangible reminders of relaxation and luxury, ensuring our guests carried a piece of paradise. But we didn't stop there. Each package also included an exclusive spa discount for their next stay, enticing them to come back and enjoy unparalleled luxury. The outcome surpassed our expectations: — Over 30% of corporate guests returned for another visit within the year. — Our high-quality totes became a part of their everyday lives, accompanying them on outings and showcasing our client's brand wherever they went. Corporate hospitality is about creating lasting memories, not just hosting an event. At Promotex we design experiences that go beyond the boardroom. Promotex partners with companies ranging from Startups to Fortune 500s that want to rely on a dedicated team of professionals for seamless A-Z execution (ideation → realization → delivery). P.S. The picture below is only a fraction of the work for our clients.  We're proud of every piece, every collaboration, and every story we contributed to.

The wisdom of a 1,000-year-old meeting planner. The concept of hospitality has remained consistent since its inception. Originating from the Latin word "hospes," which connotes both visitor and stranger, hospitality has deep historical roots. In ancient times, as our ancestors traveled the 'Silk Road from Europe to the East', travel was arduous and road networks were limited. Our corporate ancestral individuals arriving in foreign lands had to depend on their camping skills or the generosity of locals for shelter. During the era of pilgrimage and the establishment of major trade routes across Europe, inns and taverns primarily provided basic accommodations to weary travelers. The notion of purpose-built hotels catering to guests did not emerge in Europe until the 18th century, coinciding with advancements in technology and the availability of more efficient means of long-distance travel to the broader public. Subsequently, the hospitality sector has experienced continuous growth and global expansion. In contemporary Western society, Nonetheless, at its core, hospitality continues to underscore the significance of demonstrating deference to guests, attending to their requirements, and treating them as peers. The expectations concerning the provision of hospitality to unfamiliar individuals vis-à-vis personal acquaintances or in-group members vary across distinct cultures and subcultures. As a seasoned event manager with more than two decades of involvement in the hospitality industry, I have observed a notable evolution in the application of hospitality. Its pertinence extends not solely to first-generation Americans but also to individuals newly arrived in the United States from diverse global locales for entrepreneurial pursuits. This evolution has engendered an environment where hospitality functions not only as a forum for acquainting oneself with new products, legislation, and celebrations of accomplishments but also as a medium for grasping the imperatives of divergent nationalities congregating in the pursuit of a collective objective. It represents a convergence of multicultural aspirations toward success. When the Cattleman Association meets at a5 5-star hotel for a national meeting, they often bring along their prize agriculture. As corporate event planners, we make accommodations to secure our ballrooms for their four-legged guests. I cannot help but wonder, as I reflect on my most recent tour through Morocco last year,  What would we do here in the United States if a caravan of camels and their herders arrived at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Buckhead to book 200 guest rooms with their camels? How much effort would we extend ourselves to make them feel welcome? Our world is getting smaller. To keep up with the demands of our global culture we need to think bigger.
