The Luxury Group by Marriott International launches extensive research among affluent travelers across six markets

•       68% spending more on leisure travel with 74% respondents planning an intra-regional holiday within Asia-Pacific (APAC)
•       Australia is the top destination in next 12 months ahead of Japan, with 46% planning to visit
•       Indian HNW are driving luxury travel with 89% Indians planning to spend more in next 12 months
•       High-end gastronomy is the primary driver for luxury travel with 88% planning holidays around food
•       Three new personas of luxury traveler defined

​SINGAPORE, JULY 1, 2024 – As the Asia Pacific region continues to be the growth engine for luxury travel, a new comprehensive report from the Luxury Group by Marriott International has identified new expectations and travel preferences among high-net-worth (HNW) travelers in Asia Pacific. Across the region, 68% are planning to spend more on travel over the next 12 months – 89% among Indians - with 74% planning to travel within Asia Pacific and 88% prioritizing gastronomy as the reason to travel. One in four of all holidays planned (25%) are celebrations. Three distinct new groups of luxury traveler have emerged – the ‘Venture Travelist’ who seeks business opportunities when traveling, ‘Experience Connoisseur’ Millennials who are traveling for enrichment and ‘Timeless Adventurer’, over 65s who are building their own itineraries and exploring places before they become popular.


“Our New Luxe Landscapes Report provides deeper behavioral insights and motivations into elite travelers from Asia and the Pacific,” says Oriol Montal, Managing Director, Luxury, Asia Pacific (excluding China), Marriott International. “Whether it’s discovering new culinary experiences, traveling with their family or friends, or looking to forge connections with the local community, our research has identified new traveler archetypes, and provides Marriott International with new understandings in catering to this discerning traveler segment.”

Deeper Extended Experiences With Their People
​

The research among HNW travelers in Australia, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and India reveals they are traveling frequently with longer holidays especially across the Asia Pacific region. An average of six leisure trips is planned within the next 12 months while 33% of respondents are planning at least seven holidays this year. On average, a short stay comprises three nights while a long stay is two-and-a-half weeks. For many, the kinship and connection within a group enhances the richness of the travel experience, with over 70% choosing to travel with family or friends.


Australia is the destination of choice (46%), above Japan (42%) and Hong Kong, China (27%). 69% of India’s HNW tourists are planning a trip to Australia and it is the top destination of choice for Indonesian, Japanese and Singaporean travelers.
Increasing Demand in India
The most active and engaged travel market, 89% of Indian HNW say they are planning to spend more on travel. Families and friends are touring together to mark key milestones, attend a private function or event, with 38% planning a trip with friends and 33% making theirs a celebratory trip.

A Fascination for Food
88% are picking their holiday destination based on discovering a new food or culinary experience. Acutely aware of dining trends, almost half of the respondents (49%) describe a fine dining experience as an ideal night out. Reinforcing this point, 83% will choose a destination to visit an award-winning restaurant and 35% agreed they would spend more on unique culinary experiences. When choosing a hotel, 81% of HNW travelers make their selection based on fine dining options and 83% choose a destination so they can visit a celebrated restaurant.

New Traveler Personas 
With more disposable income for holidays and a growing population of ageing travelers, the research has identified three new categories of affluent travelers. These include:

i) The ‘Venture Travelist’
The next-generation Bleisure tourist, the Venture Travelist prioritizes holiday destinations that will generate business opportunities. While they enjoy their vacation with their family and loved ones, they are always on the lookout to secure a deal. Entrepreneurs at heart, they explore a location, shopping for local products and antiques, and looking to forge business connections with members from the local community.

ii) The ‘Experience Connoisseur’
Predominantly millennials, Experience Connoisseurs plan their leisure travel as an opportunity for personal enrichment. They travel extensively and see the experience as an investment in their mental and physical wellbeing. They want to deeply explore a destination, they value personalization and actively seek exclusive one-of-a-kind experiences.

iii) The ‘Timeless Adventurer’
Debunking every stereotype of the over-65 ‘silver set travelers’, Timeless Adventurers are keen explorers who want to immerse themselves in a destination. They’re less interested in tourist attractions and more drawn to what gives the destination a sense of place, what makes it unique and memorable

With sleep leading the broader health and wellness movement, Westin doubles down on the sleep conversation with its refreshed product, enhanced modern design and globally acclaimed wellness programming

May, 2024 – Building upon its legacy of delivering deep, restorative sleep for guests, Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands, is unveiling its next generation Heavenly® Bed. Developed in collaboration with leading sleep experts, Westin associates and guests, the next generation Heavenly Bed fortifies the brand’s mission and 360-degree wellness approach, empowering discerning travelers to not only maintain but enhance their well-being while traveling.

As the preeminent wellness brand in hospitality, Westin has long recognized sleep as a cornerstone of well-being. Many travelers are now considering a restorative night’s sleep as a pivotal part of their overall travel experience, a subject in which Westin has served as an authoritative source for decades. This new prioritization in sleep quality has individuals seeking out new ways to optimize their sleep experience while traveling, as evidenced by the booming sleep sector which is expected to grow by over $400 billion through 2028. The legacy Heavenly Bed has not only paved the path for providing unparalleled comfort for travelers, but spurred consumers’ interest in bringing their sleep experience home, with more than 500,000 Heavenly Beds sold since its official launch on the Westin Store.

Energized by its enduring success and prestigious reputation, Westin embarked on a multi-year journey to invigorate guests’ sleep experience and enhance travelers’ well-being at its 240+ hotels and resorts globally. 

“An industry benchmark was set with the launch of our legacy Heavenly Bed in 1999, and it now serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to provide the very best sleep experiences for guests around the world. In a culture that has long glorified busyness and productivity, Westin knows that a good night's sleep is paramount to guests’ overall well-being, which is why our iconic Heavenly Bed has resonated with travelers for decades,” said Brian Povinelli, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Marketing and Brand, Marriott International. “Understanding the devoted fanbase the legacy bed has garnered over the years; our goal was to listen and carefully review every aspect of the guest and associate experience, ensuring each update was both intentional and impactful. We are confident that it will exceed the expectations of both loyal and future Westin guests across the globe and again raise the bar for the comfort of our guests.” 

Aiming to set the new standard of excellence for restorative sleep on the road, Westin’s significant development process included testing thousands of products, hosting consumer focus groups and property listening sessions, and researching the evolution of sleep comfort and technology. It culminated in a new, top-of-the-line product with a modernized design and a wider commitment to continue to evolve and improve the Westin Sleep Well experience.

From the plush-top mattress and its innovative silver fiber weave to the added layers of temperature-regulating gel-infused memory foam, the next generation Heavenly Bed mattress offers a superior sleep experience further enhanced by the significant upgrades to bedding design and materials. All bedding components have been upgraded to hypoallergenic materials and the blended duvet insert was created with a unique mix of materials and wrapped in smooth cotton, which is designed to regulate temperature and keep guests cool for a better night’s sleep. Replacing the previous all-white aesthetic of the legacy bed with Westin’s new, modern design ethos, the next generation Heavenly Bed now includes a new charcoal blanket and full-frame piping on pillowcases to provide a warm residential feel and cloud-like appearance. The richly woven blanket features a tone-on-tone pattern inspired by the brand’s biophilic design principle and serves as both an added layer of warmth and a beautiful residentially inspired coverlet. Additional design updates include sateen linens with natural matte finish and the removal of the bed skirt and bolster pillow, reflecting a more modern sleep experience and guest input.

15/8/2023

Inviting guests to experience the next chapter of the hotel’s exclusive Afternoon Tea Culture series, Anantara Siam Bangkok presents a collaboration between renowned paper artist and OH! My Craft Studio founder Natsupon Phromsawat, and Anantara’s Executive Pastry Chef Anupong Nualchawee. Launching on 10th August 2023, “The House of Creation” afternoon tea promises a bold leap into the heart of the universe.

The concept of this collaboration was inspired by Anantara Siam's ceiling art that emulates the universe and celestial bodies from Thai folklore, and the history of the unfinished mural by the hotel's grand staircase. By taking the viewer on a journey to the heavenly realm as represented by the Sun, the Moon and Rahu, Natsupon Phromsawat’s experimental couture paper art ponders the mysteries of life and its origins by deconstructing, reconstructing, reshaping and reforming the concept of life itself.

Meanwhile, Anantara’s Executive Pastry Chef Anupong Nualchawee reimagines the cosmic Pillars of Creation as an exquisite Elephant Blanc dessert – an elephant-shaped chocolate sphere filled with rich ganache infused with Anantara Siam’s signature ‘Elephant Blanc’ tea blend by Mariage Frères. Also on the menu are oven-hot crumbly scones, savoury pick-me-ups and sweet delights including pineapple tatin, cognac and almond cream pastry with berries, raspberry pistachio tartlet, tonka bean panna cotta, and other treats.

Legendary Ceramics Villeroy & Boch Invites Thailand to Celebrate 275th Brand Anniversary

22/7/2023

Comments

 
Picture
Villeroy & Boch, one of the world's leading premium brands for ceramic products from Germany, invites Thai consumers to celebrate its 275th anniversary by spotlighting special product highlights. 
 
Villeroy & Boch originated in 1748 as a small craft business by François Boch in the tiny village of Audun le Tiche, Lorraine (France).  In 1836, Boch merged with Nicolas Villeroy, producing simple household commodities. Today, Villeroy & Boch enjoys a reputation as a premium brand with global status, renowned for its innovations, heritage and quality design.
 
A case study for re-invention, Villeroy & Boch has shaped the market and remained an industry pioneer over the centuries. New procedures, material formulations, colours and shapes have taken hold, while ceramic as a durable natural product remains at the company's centre. The brand can attribute its success and longevity to its ability to respond to political and societal changes and embrace new developments while retaining its core ethos of unbeatable craftsmanship and designs that help a house become a home. 
 
To honour the 275th anniversary year, the Bathroom & Wellness and Dining & Lifestyle divisions of Villeroy & Boch will present very special product highlights:



  • Bathroom & Wellness is launching “Hommage to Hommage”, a new edition of the successful bathroom collection, whose traditional Victorian forms are shown in the trendy new pure black ‘Nero’ shade. 



  • Dining & Lifestyle is presenting a new version of its award-winning ‘La Boule’: The successful reinterpretation of Helen von Boch’s “Die Kugel” [The Sphere] from the 1970s has been designed with a reinterpretation of the classic copperplate decor Paradiso for the anniversary. The limited edition piece is available exclusively online while stocks last. 
 
Frank Göring, CEO of Villeroy & Boch, said: “The first products Villeroy & Boch produced were pots and bowls. 275 years later, we use our diverse offering to create holistically designed spaces and worlds of style that reflect the attitude towards life of its customers worldwide. 
 
“Villeroy & Boch realised the value of the home to people at an early stage, shaping the vision that we pursue today: making houses into homes. The bathroom has been more than just a sanitary room for a long time; we help evolve it into a feel-good oasis. While it was complete crockery sets in the past, today, the focus is a diverse product portfolio that makes the table setting and entire home more beautiful with living accessories and gift items.
