I have just booked one night at Tawaraya Ryokan in Kyoto, for my upcoming trip to Japan. This famous historic inn is commonly regarded as the best ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Japan/the world. It was quite a stressful process, considering I had just booked what is likely to be one of the most relaxing evenings I will ever experience. There are hundreds of ryokan in Kyoto. Trying to decide on which one isn't easy. There are lots of 'best ryokans' articles on the web, but there wasn't a clear winner consistent across all articles. Tawaraya doesn't have a website. Tawaraya can't be booked on any booking websites (you have to email the ryokan and wait for them to get back to you). Tawaraya was more expensive than the rest on my shortlist (but in no way the most expensive). I eventually narrowed it down to two ryokan. The other one was cheaper. The other one was in a better location. The other one had a shiny website with amazing pictures and descriptions. The other one had more excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. So why did I choose Tawaraya? Well, no website, inconvenient to book and expensive (three things which would normally turn me off) were surprisingly reassuring in this instance. But the main two reasons. 1. The stories. Not the stories they tell me on their website, the stories their clients have written about the place: "Over 300 years old." "Run by the same family for the past 12 generations." "The fabric on the futon was some impossibly fine cotton and the shiki-buton (mattress) was much thicker than any futon I’d ever slept on." "Perfect kaiseki cuisine." "The finest accommodation on earth." It means more when someone else talks about it. 2. The experience: "Sleep like a shōgun-era samurai at Kyoto's finest ryokan." "It is likely to be one of the true highlights of your trip and the memory of a lifetime." "I have NEVER experienced hospitality at this level.' "The moment you set foot inside, you're immersed in their world, a world where tradition infuses every corner of its design and hospitality." Get these two things right. Give people an experience that they want to gush about, and people will pay handsomely to experience it! The main reason behind my stress was that I didn't want to get this wrong. I wanted this experience to be one of the lasting memories of my life. I was going to have a great night, whichever ryokan out of the final two I chose. It could have been cheaper. It could have been in a better location. It could have been easier to book. But having the perfect experience, was the deciding factor. An emotional deciding factor, not a rational one. #experience #stories #emotionaldecision #brand

Cultural Tapestry in Travel and Hospitality Traveling is more than just moving from one place to another; it's a journey that transcends geographical boundaries and delves into the rich tapestry of diverse cultures. In the realm of hospitality, this cultural tapestry becomes the foundation upon which unforgettable experiences are woven. Let's explore the intricate threads that make up the cultural fabric of travel and hospitality. Local Flavors and Culinary Delights: One of the most enticing aspects of travel is the opportunity to savor local cuisines. Each region boasts a unique culinary identity, reflecting its history, agriculture, and traditions. From street food stalls to Michelin-starred restaurants, the gastronomic landscape tells a story of cultural evolution. Travelers can embark on a culinary journey, tasting the spices of India, the pasta of Italy, or the sushi of Japan, all contributing to the rich cultural tableau. Architectural Marvels and Design Aesthetics: The architecture of a destination is like a visual language, speaking volumes about its cultural heritage. From ancient temples and historic castles to modern skyscrapers, each structure narrates a tale of the people who built it. In the hospitality industry, hotels and resorts often embrace local architectural styles, providing guests with an immersive experience that connects them to the soul of the destination. Traditional Arts and Crafts: Travel offers a window into the artistic expressions of different cultures. Whether it's intricate textiles, vibrant paintings, or delicate ceramics, traditional arts and crafts are integral to a destination's identity. In the hospitality sector, establishments often showcase local artwork and craftsmanship, creating an ambiance that celebrates the authenticity and uniqueness of the locale. Festivals and Celebrations: Participating in local festivals and celebrations is a gateway to understanding the heartbeat of a community. Travelers can witness traditional dances, music performances, and rituals that have been passed down through generations. Hotels and resorts, cognizant of the cultural significance of these events, may organize special programs and activities to allow guests to partake in the local festivities. #TravelCulture #HospitalityExperience #CulinaryJourney #ArchitecturalHeritage #LocalArtsandCrafts #FestivalCelebration #GlobalTapestry #CulturalImmersion #DestinationDiversity #ExploreTraditions #GastronomicAdventure #ArtisticExpressions #LanguageOfTravel #AuthenticHospitality #DiverseExperiences #CulturalEnrichment #WorldlyDiscoveries #LocalFlavorsGlobalSavors #TravelTraditions #ImmersiveHospitality

🌿Can Luxury Spas Be Eco-Conscious?🌿 Many still believe that the indulgence of a spa experience cannot align with environmental consciousness. However, our data often tells a different story. An increasing number of spas are actively exploring ways to reduce their carbon footprint – not just to cut costs but also to meet the growing demand for eco-conscious hotel and spa experiences from both leisure and business travelers. Over the past four years, ClimateScore, in collaboration with spa hotels, has encountered establishments that have achieved climate scores surpassing those of many traditional hotels, a Climate Score they proudly communicate. Furthermore, we have discovered that these spa hotels can, on average, further reduce their carbon footprint by an additional 8% by following our straightforward and specific recommendations. We offer clear guidance on reducing carbon emissions and saving costs, all based on a well-documented method that complies with ISO standards. This makes it accessible for hotels of all sizes and ensures a scientifically robust foundation, allowing you to confidently use our analyses both internally and externally, aligning with upcoming EU requirements for green claims. 🌍We are here to support your commitment to environmental consciousness with data-driven facts and to meet the increasing demand from major Danish companies looking to book their stays and events, including conferences and spa visits, at hotels that demonstrate an active commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction.
