WITT Certified properties tap into the booming wellness travel market and elevate their appeal in a competitive market. Each WITT Certified hotel is evaluated on our 5 pillars of wellness, which align with public demand: •Healthy Eating: Nutritious meals created from locally sourced ingredients which cater to diverse dietary needs. •Holistic Healing: A traditional spa is the basis of most wellness properties. Travelers are seeking unique experiences beyond the massage such as meditation spaces, a number of daily classes and personalized programs. •Movement: Health-conscious travelers seek fantastic fitness facilities and ways to get outside and exercise under the sky. •Nature: Sure, the beach resorts and eco-lodges have it easy. Other properties can still excel in this pillar through biophilic design, creating light-filled indoor spaces and allowing access to the outdoors as much as possible. •Local Impact: Start with the standard eco-friendly practices such as composting, saving water and using renewable sources of energy. Top performers also give back and demonstrate community engagement. Properties which align with these pillars and become WITT Certified will attract a growing segment of wellness-focused travelers, increase guest satisfaction and boost revenue.

🌍 Universal Access in Hospitality on World Blind Day: A Pathway to Inclusivity and Enhanced Guest Experiences 💼 Today, as we observe World Blind Day, we reflect on the importance of universal access in the hospitality industry. Universal access is more than just compliance—it’s about delivering exceptional guest experiences, fostering inclusivity, and building a future of equity for all. 🔹 Enhancing Guest Experiences: By prioritizing accessibility, hotels, restaurants, and resorts can create seamless, comfortable experiences for everyone—from guests with disabilities to elderly travellers and families with young children. According to WHO, over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability, and their needs must be part of the hospitality experience. 🔹 Fostering Social Equity: Universal access ensures that all people, regardless of ability, can enjoy the same travel and leisure experiences. It’s about creating an inclusive society where accessibility is a given, not an afterthought. 🔹 Sustainable Tourism: As the hospitality industry moves toward a more sustainable future, accessibility is key. It’s not only about environmental sustainability but also social sustainability, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of travel. On this World Blind Day, let’s commit to a more inclusive and accessible hospitality industry that welcomes everyone, regardless of ability. #WorldBlindDay #UniversalAccess #InclusiveHospitality #SustainableTourism #LiveableGroup #AccessibilityForAll

Have you heard of “hurkle-durkling”? It’s a Scottish term for staying in bed longer than usual, which 20% of travelers now enjoy, with the number jumping to 30% among Zillennials (born 1980-2006). This shift reflects a broader desire for rest and rejuvenation during travel, as people seek sleep-centric amenities for a better night’s rest.
