[vc_row margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”45″][vc_column animation=””][vc_column_text css_animation=”zoomInDown”]Change is a constant in the universe\u00a0and in many ways, it can be the antithesis of<\/strong> the \u201cstatus-quo\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0\u201cBusiness As Usual\u201d<\/em><\/strong>. In today\u2019s world, change occurs at a seemingly ever-increasing rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

XoMoX has been consulting clients on a number of emerging future realities. We often utilize and illustrate trends such as \u201cLocalization<\/span>\u201d<\/em>, \u201cAuthentic Experiences<\/span>\u201d<\/em> and \u201cMulti-Purpose Spaces<\/span>\u201d<\/em>. So, we decided to create a list of Focal Points that decision makers in the hospitality, F&B and travel and tourism industries might want to keep in mind for the foreseeable future. Here they are…<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1553006683658{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Experience & Integrity:<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>Guests are looking for something different from the \u201ccookie cutter\u201d approach. It is essential to give them an experience<\/strong> they will remember fondly, and this is more important than getting obsessed with design details.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1434011216689{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]Members \/ Clubs:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Look out for a proliferation of members’ clubs incorporated in to boutique hotels and F&B establishments, particularly in key urban markets such as London and New York.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1553006727185{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Caring For the Environment:<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>There is a small but growing band of environmentally customers\u00a0who are increasingly concerned with their carbon footprint. Businesses can cater to\u00a0them in a variety of ways \u2014 from serving\u00a0locally sourced<\/strong>, seasonal food to allowing guests to control their energy usage. It is also important not to force the green agenda down people’s throats.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1434012279449{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Boutique Goes Budget:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Until now boutique hotels have been operating at the upper end of the price scale, but there is huge scope for budget hotels to offer a more distinctive, less homogenised experience.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1553006747460{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”]<\/p>\n

In-Room Technology:
\n<\/span>It’s important for establishments to offer technology that is at least as good as the\u00a0guest would expect to have in their home<\/strong>, but it must be user friendly and practical. The technology must also sit comfortably if installed in heritage buildings, and not jar with its surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1434012465739{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]Authenticity:
\n<\/span>Boutique hotels and non-chain restaurants are particularly\u00a0suited to conversions of historic or interesting buildings<\/strong>. By doing this with sensitivity to the materials used and the original structure, they can be among the most sustainable and authentic hotels in terms of the built environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1553736608764{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #eaeaea !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Variety:
\n<\/span>Boutique hotels can capitalise on their flexibility and independence by providing\u00a0individually designed guestrooms<\/strong>\u00a0rather than standardised offers.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1434012563914{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]Location,\u00a0NOT<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Brand:
\n<\/span>Guests are looking to\u00a0interact with the hotel<\/strong>\u00a0\/ venue\u00a0itself, and the passionate people who drive it and provide great service,\u00a0not a company or an international brand<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1553736627192{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #eaeaea !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Boutique B&B:
\n<\/span>There’s a significant move\u00a0towards offering B&B in distinctive, design-led properties with a range of added service and experiences available, such as\u00a0visiting chefs<\/strong>,\u00a0wine tastings<\/strong>, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInRight” css=”.vc_custom_1434012746484{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]Lifestyle Hotels:
\n<\/span>While the\u00a0multinationals will struggle<\/strong>\u00a0to replicate the true boutique experience, they will increasingly focus on the lifestyle model of 100 to 200 room hotels, using their economies of scale and management experience.[\/vc_column_text]
