Hotels as Destinations

Accommodations that offer exotic experiences along with a bed

Implications - Travelers are seeking hotels that offer as much of an experience as the destination they are traveling to. This not only gives these hotels a favorable advantage to those seeking an exotic experience abroad, but it also increases the likelihood the hotel will attract local patrons looking for a staycation. Pushing beyond travel norms ups consumer notice.
