HOW DO YOU ENGAGE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE? Our club members are very engaged on social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. We’ve also created a members-only, private Facebook group to foster a more intimate travel-minded community, where members can share photos, give each other vacation recommendations, and swap advice about what to do. Our members have told us they love having the group as a resource to connect with like-minded travelers they might not have otherwise met. Additionally, our members maintain strong relationships with their personal vacation planners and destination service staff through text, e-mail, and voice calls. HOW DO TRENDS LIKE WELLNESS, SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS AND LOCAL FLAVOR FACTOR INTO YOUR GUEST’S SEARCH FOR THE RIGHT TRAVEL DESTINATION? Our destination teams are locals—they live in the destinations where our members vacation, so they’re the most plugged-in resources when it comes to trip planning and activity recommendations. No matter what a guest is interested in, our hard-working hospitality teams will find a way to bring that dream vacation to life. All of our in destination experiences are exclusive and curate the wishes and dreams of our members for each and every vacation. ILHA 41
