MEET THIS WEEK'S FUTURE-FACERS 🌏 We’ve enjoy MEET THIS WEEK'S FUTURE-FACERS 🌏 We’ve enjoyed hearing about so many hotel re-openings in recent weeks and are watching eagerly as the industry takes steps to recovery. But this week we want to shine a light on those hotels opening for the first time in 2020! . . First up, @oodesarucoast opens early September and is now taking reservations for their luxury suites and incredible villa. If Malaysia is on your bucket list, you won’t be disappointed by Desaru Coast’s tropical combination of jungle, sand and sea. . . @zannierhotels Bai San Ho sits in 98 hectares of garden, miles away from the mainstream tourist paths. Opening in December, this luxurious resort showcases the best of Vietnam. . . Last but not least @raffles_bali is now taking their first reservations.

You already know sustainability is a key concern f You already know sustainability is a key concern for your guests: 72% of global travellers considered it a priority in 2019. But how has the COVID-19 crisis affected customer mindsets – and impacted sustainability efforts in Asia? In our latest campfire we were joined by Miguel Cunat, Founder & CEO of Fabulous Getaway and Alexandra Michat, Director of Sustainability at EXO Travel. It was a privilege to witness their incredible knowledge and sustainability expertise – here are their key takeaways to skim, if you missed it live. 1. The crisis has simultaneously damaged and improved sustainability efforts. COVID-19 may have put people and movement on pause, but it’s also given the planet a chance to breathe. All around us, wildlife is thriving and destinations plagued by overtourism are peaceful once more. But many conservation efforts rely on tourism to survive, as do local communities. 2. Governments have proved they can take decisive action. Could they do the same for sustainability? Strict lockdowns and global border controls have proved governments can take quick, decisive action when necessary. Both panellists wondered if the same logic could be applied to post-crisis climate change and tourism legislation, introducing more stringent measures to protect the future of our planet. 3. Privacy and sanitation fears could impact the future of sustainable travel. From street food to sharing plates and reusable bottles, some sustainable options may be put on hold when tourism lifts to allay traveller fears. Both also predicted a resurgence in single-use plastics and potentially harmful cleaning chemicals as a part of the ‘new normal’, which could be problematic for conservation efforts.

Amid the pandemic and recovery headlines, there’ Amid the pandemic and recovery headlines, there’s one topic dominating our industry right now: the future of commissions and cancellations. It might not be glamorous, but it’s critical to consider – which is why we called on Accor Hotels’ Kerry Healy to lead last week’s Campfire Conversation. . . Here are her key takeaways and predictions for the future of payments, prepaid bookings and more. Consider class in session… . . 1. More flexibility is critical: from hotel owners and customers to travel advisors and suppliers, a more flexible approach won’t just advisable, it’s essential. “The interconnectedness of our ecosystem is unbelievable,” Kerry noted. Flexible cancellation policies for both guests and travel advisors and the shift away from owners and hoteliers to act as “credit facilities” are likely. . . 2. Prepay will become more popular: in China, an appetite for ‘pay now, travel later’ is already gaining momentum. Benefiting both guests, travel advisors and hotels, flexible prepay options should be an essential part of your recovery strategy and package. . . 3. Hotels should hold their rates: “Historically, those who do this have bounced back quicker,” warned Kerry. Reconsider your value aspect and justify – and then deliver – strong brand experiences, and it’s likely you will nurture a loyal audience. . . . Stay tuned for details on our next Campfire Conversation on Wednesday 10 June.
