Video: Consumers are seeking experience travel, a Q&A with RLA Global's Roger Allen

Roger Allen, Group CEO at RLA Global, joined us at The Resort & Residential Hospitality Forum in October to discuss the consumer and investor trends in the resort, leisure, and hospitality sector. He described the biggest trend in travel and hospitality as personalised, experiential programming. Consumers are seeking experience travel and the opportunities are there for hotels to create bespoke experiences tailored to their needs.

He added that wellness retreats and mountain resorts are segments that investors are becoming increasingly interested in and "we're seeing specific resorts being built tailored to that as well as development and renovation within existing resorts that are adapting their product to fit this trend."

If you would like to hear more from Roger, he moderated the session "Beyond the beach: Three resort & residential concepts that expand the possibilities of leisure hospitality" at R&R 2022, which is now available on demand if you attended R&R 2022, or if you subscribe to the R&R newsletter
