Another Insight on Luxury!
In one of my previous posts, I had shared my point of view on “Luxury”…however, I feel that I had a little more to add to the world of hospitality. In a high-octane Sporting Event, a spectator gets a Thrilling feel. In a Desert Safari, a participant gets an Adventurous feel. In a Meditation center, you would feel Sublime.

Service With a Smile…! This statement does define luxury … don’t you think? When we visit a luxury hotel/ highly rated restaurant, we expect a certain more poise and experience as compared to a regular cafe or a casual joint. Why is that?

So how does “Luxury Management” lead to “Luxury Hospitality Management” or can Hospitality Management make luxury its integral part. In todays’ time every guest demands Luxury.
