Tiivistelmä: | Creating a memorable experience is a powerful way to differentiate one hospitality operation from another. Hoteliers and other hospitality operators need to consider how to turn their mundane services into memorable experiences-and avoid the trap of being treated like a commodity. One method for selling experiences is to imbue operations with a theme, a concept that infuses all services within a given venue with a single organizing principle. Themes can be overtly stated or quietly subtle, but either way, a hotel can use its theme to set itself apar from competitors. Themes are realized through motifs, which are visual manifestations of a theme. A theme can serve as an umbrella across all locations within a company's portfolio of locations, or it can be specific to individual locations. |
