TRENDS
Together with global analysts at TrendWatching, SLH have
identified five consumer trends in travel and experience in
2018, from the demand for personalized leisure to inspiring
inner discovery.
HANDS-ON LUXE
Luxury travelers will be able to design their own experience,
adding a new dimension to their Instagram moments,
choosing the fragrance of their room at the Hotel Magna
Pars Suites Milano, which used to be a perfume factory, or
the color of their toilet paper, brand of toiletries and linens at
The View Lugano in Switzerland.
SPIRITUAL STORIES
In 2018 the wellness industry will focus on those spiritual
experiences that enable guests to encounter one-of-a-
kind moments to focus their independently charged minds.
Visiting ancient Power Spots at the Sankara Hotel & Spa
Yakushima in Japan, evening spa treatments under the stars,
or floating on water at the Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali
give a glimpse of the bespoke nature of these immersive
experiences.
