Just back from a trip that blended business and leisure in the best way possible, my first real “bleisure” experience! The week began in Brisbane, meeting with partners and colleagues, introducing our VP Commercial, Andrew Hartley, to the incredible Flight Centre Travel Group team, before reconnecting with old friends from my Fiji days. The journey reiterated of the power of meaningful #relationships. Whether personal or professional, it’s these connections that guide us forward.

Shaping the future of Bali’s tourism was the focus of an exclusive forum hosted by Indonesia’s Tourism Minister, where leaders shared actionable insights on sustainability, community benefits, and tackling challenges like traffic management and waste handling. These discussions are a vital step toward enhancing #Bali as a global travel destination. At Cross Hotels & Resorts, we are inspired to turn these insights into action, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional and sustainable travel experiences. A special shout-out to Komang Artana for representing us at this impactful event and contributing to these important conversations. crosshotelsandresorts.com #CrossHotelsandResorts #BaliTourism #SustainableTravel

The talent crunch in #hospitality is real… really frustrating! Post-COVID, the staffing pool is smaller, and while we train, invest, and develop our teams, poaching remains an industry-wide challenge. Strong teams come from strong cultures and growth opportunities, even if it means accepting some attrition. Cross Hotels & Resorts is doubling down on learning and retention. Through our parent company Flight Centre Travel Group, we’re building an Asian taskforce dedicated to #leadership and technical skills training. From software courses to culinary schools, we’re empowering our people to grow their careers and, in turn, grow with us. It’s all about creating a culture where people want to stay for the journey just as much as the pay check. Retention isn’t just cheaper than poaching; it’s how we preserve and amplify our unique Cross #culture. What strategies are you using to keep your teams thriving? Let’s connect, I’d love to hear your thoughts. #CrossHotelsandResorts #PeopleAndCulture #TrainingAndDevelopment

What a phenomenal week at World Travel Market (WTM) London. The excitement and optimism in the air were contagious and 2024 is shaping up to a paradigm shift in our industry. We’re finally seeing a correction in airfares, driving #travel demand beyond 2019 levels, and new patterns are emerging. Travelers are focusing on single destinations, exploring regions in depth rather than rushing through hectic itineraries. These trends align perfectly with our ESG and community-based lifestyle brands, which stand out by delivering authentic, immersive experiences. It was a privilege to speak on Discova’s panel about over-tourism and ESG. For us, #sustainability isn’t just about doing less harm; it’s about doing more good. We discussed travel innovations and plans to support local communities, creating jobs, and giving travelers direct connections to the places they visit. Learn all about how we’re working to enrich destinations, and the trends I’m seeing for 2025 and beyond. What trends are you seeing on the horizon? Let’s talk… #CrossHotelsandResorts #WTM2024 #Sustainability #Hospitality
