We had an incredible time celebrating the grand opening of our client, FARO BLANCO RESORT following its $14 million renovation! The event featured cocktail hour, nautical knot-tying demos, and a guided tour by a “Faro Blanco Captain.” Highlights included the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a sunset lighthouse lighting, and a reception with live music, ceviche stations, and rum tastings. As the newest addition to Hilton’s Curio Collection, the resort boasts upgraded spacious accommodations with bayside views of the Florida Keys, a new signature dining concept, Lighthouse Kitchen + Bar, in addition to three other F&B outlets, four outdoor pools, 40,000 sq. ft. of event space, programming including snorkeling, fishing, yoga, and more.  Florence Quinn Cassandra Small Kristie Farinha Liz McNeil karla cobreiro

Join Vogue inside the just-opened Palm House in Palm Beach. “It has this almost ethereal quality that feels like stepping into The Little Mermaid—but make it couture, like something out of a Schiaparelli dream," said Minda Dowling, the hotel’s art consultant, describing Christa Wilm’s fantastical seashell tapestry to writer Lilah Ramzi. "I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes one of the most photographed features in the hotel.” Iconic Luxury Hotels Neil Kirk Francisco Macedo, MSc FIH SJS MI Clinton Campbell Christopher Jaycock Natalie Le Clerc Karina Waggoner MSE Zoe Gray Minda Dowling Alan Philips Stephanie Fox Quinn PR The Palm Beaches VISIT FLORIDA Liz McNeil Cassandra Small Kristie Farinha Camila Gamero #luxuryhotels #luxurytravel

Should it be helpful, sharing 4 take aways from Travel + Leisure’s Evolution of Travel Breakfast at ILTM. Thanks, Jacqueline Gifford, for assembling a panel of sharp experts who shared openly. ❤️   1. Travel is just the lens Jack Ezon, founder/managing partner, EMBARK Beyond:  -Travel is not the destination; it's just the lens. Travel is a platform for discovery, lifestyle and bringing people together. -I’s not just seeing the art – it’s the cool stuff that goes on around it. -Thirty percent of the people who go to St. Moritz don’t ski; it’s a winter holiday. -People appreciate craftsmanship and what goes beyond the product.  -We were overlooking what people are doing anyway – sports, college tours, kids. -We are seeing groups of people traveling together – couples, girlfriends. Travel is a way to connect.   2. Event Travel has gone over-the-top Keith Waldon, founder, Departure Lounge Travel:  -Event Travel has gone over-the-top. Music trips are driving business with mind-blowing requests, like suites decorated for Swifties. Audrey Hendley, president, American Express Global Travel & Lifestyle Services:  -It’s not just the sports event, it’s the surround sound of everything going on around it.  -People no longer go to see Miami; they go an event there. -People want a little bit more than what their friends did. People want to broadcast back home. Graeme Davis, president, Baha Mar:  -We had 20,000 guests at Baha Mar for the NCAA. College sports, like UCONN’s women’s team, have tremendous fan bases. 3. Wild Factor Keith:  -The trend is the wild factor.  -Screw keeping the home for the kids. (Keith is moving to Italy.)  -It’s Andrea Bocelli performing in private. -Families are bringing art experts and language teacher on trips. -We are also seeing that people want to plan their own surprise and delights and have us pull it off. -It is over-the-top; they keep raising the bar. Graeme:  -We are building a podcast studio near the beach and will have podcasters in residence. Come for a week with your favorite podcaster. There are 300 million podcast listeners. Audrey: A customer loved a perfume, so they opened early for her and explained how the perfume is made.   4. Gamification of Travel Jack:   -People are aging backwards. They want recreation and to get out of their routines. -We just did an amazing race for a super celebrity. -We created a summer camp with counselors for a 50th birthday party. -Take people out of their comfort zone and this is what they will remember. Graeme:  -Pickleball revenue exceeds tennis. We just built 6 pickleball courts. -Topgolf and PopGolf have been game changers.
