But they're not just like a travel agency, are they? No, not at 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:14,420 all. It seems like they do a bunch of things, right? Right. They've got- Like 4 00:00:14,420 --> 00:00:19,000 bespoke travel planning, but then also business consulting, professional team 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,120 training. Yeah, that's a thing. Even mystery guest evaluations. Mm-hmm. It's 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,880 fascinating how they tie it all together. Yeah, and we've got a whole stack of stuff 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,760 to go through. Through their blog posts, there's a few study guides, and some 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,780 articles all about how they approach this whole luxury travel game. Yeah. It should 9 00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:41,300 be interesting to unpack it all. For sure. So for everyone listening, get ready to 10 00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:46,280 discover how the le Luxure crafts these really unique travel experiences, but also 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,620 how they help businesses stand out. Yeah, they've got a really interesting approach. 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,760 Yeah, it's like they're kind of shaking up the luxury travel scene. One of the things 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,760 that really stands out about them is how they present Mallorca. It's not just a 14 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,740 destination, you know? It's like a whole lifestyle. Right, right. And they go way 15 00:01:02,740 --> 00:01:06,680 beyond just the beaches, right? Exactly. Because they're talking about hiking, 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,080 exploring local markets, festivals that have been around forever. It's like 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,680 they're giving you the key to the real Mallorca, not just the touristy stuff. 18 00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:19,500 Exactly. And that's where their bespoke personalization comes in. Okay, tell me 19 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:25,400 more about that. What is that? So they tailor each experience to the traveler's 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,440 values, you know? Okay. It's not just luxury. It's not just luxury for the sake 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,580 of luxury. Yeah, yeah. It's about aligning the experience with what's important to 22 00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:37,760 you. So it's like if someone was really passionate about sustainability, well, a 23 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,820 luxury would find them eco-conscious businesses, eco-friendly activities. 24 00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:47,200 Precisely. Or if they're into local artisans, they might arrange visits to 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,240 workshops, studios, that kind of thing. Oh, wow. That's pretty cool, that level of 26 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,880 detail. It is. It's a big part of what sets them apart. Okay, but how do they 27 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,060 even know enough about Mallorca to do all that? Well, they claim to have, like, this 28 00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:04,620 unrivaled knowledge of all these hidden gems in Mallorca. Right. And based on the 29 00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:09,540 examples they give, they might be right. Like what kind of examples? Well, for 30 00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:13,820 instance, they talk about these private gastronomic tours. Okay. But these aren't 31 00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:18,800 your typical restaurant hopping tours. Oh, okay. These tours take you into the homes 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,260 of local families so you experience authentic Mallorcan cuisine. Really? And 33 00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:28,140 traditions and everything. Wow, that does sound amazing. Yeah. I can see why people 34 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:31,360 who want something really unique would love that. Absolutely. And it goes back to 35 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,680 that idea of Mallorca as a lifestyle. Right, right. You're not just observing. 36 00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:38,780 You're part of it. Yeah, you're immersed. It's like they figured out how to 37 00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:43,040 personalize travel on this whole other level. Yeah. But it's not just the travel 38 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,280 side of things, though, right? No, you're right. Because they also work with 39 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,960 businesses. Yeah, they offer business consulting specifically for hospitality 40 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,760 brands. Okay, so what does that look like? Well, they talk about helping clients 41 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,840 refine their brand identity. Okay. But it goes beyond just like a logo or a tagline. 42 00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:06,960 They help these businesses define their core values, their story, you know, their 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,360 reason for being. So like for a hotel or villa, it's about figuring out what makes 44 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,760 them special. Yeah, exactly. What sets them apart. Okay. They have this framework 45 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,560 they use to guide businesses through that process. Okay. You know, analyze market 46 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,660 trends, identify target audiences, and build a brand narrative that resonates. So 47 00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:32,540 do they actually give any examples in their materials? They do, yeah. They talk 48 00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:38,400 about this boutique hotel that kind of lost its identity after years of catering 49 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,760 to different tourist trends. Yeah. And le Luxure helped them go back to their 50 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,060 original vision. Okay. But repositioned themselves for today's travelers. So they 51 00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:48,680 helped them get back to their roots. Right. But in a way that's still relevant. 52 00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:52,680 Exactly. I like that. It's like they're good storytellers. They are. And they get 53 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,340 that in the luxury market. It's not just about providing a service. Right. It's 54 00:03:56,340 --> 00:03:59,060 about creating. Right. It's about creating an emotional connection. Yeah. Yeah. It's 55 00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:02,880 about making people feel something. Giving them an experience that they'll remember 56 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,720 and talk about. So it sounds like le Luxure is doing that. They are. For 57 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,620 travelers and the businesses they work with. Right. But how do they ensure that 58 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:15,500 commitment to excellence actually plays out in real life? Well, that's where their 59 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,540 team training comes in. Okay. So what makes their training different? I was just 60 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:22,920 about to ask that. Well, they focus on developing leadership skills. Okay. They 61 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,640 focus on fostering teamwork and empowering the staff to really own the game. Mm-hmm. 62 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,940 They have different modules covering communication styles, conflict resolution, 63 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,820 things like that. It sounds pretty in -depth. Do they have like a philosophy? 64 00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:42,280 They do. Yeah. Or a method they follow? They call it the le Luxure way. Catchy. 65 00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:48,260 It's about going beyond just basic needs. Mm-hmm. Anticipating what guests truly 66 00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:52,920 want. Yeah. Exceeding their expectations. I'm sensing a theme here. Exceeding 67 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,500 expectations. Mm-hmm. Creating those wow moments. Yeah. Yeah. How do you measure 68 00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,540 that? That's a great question, and that's where things get really interesting. Wait 69 00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:05,560 a minute. Don't tell me. It's the mystery guests. You got it. I knew it. Yeah. I was 70 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,440 wondering when we would get to that. It's their way of ensuring quality control. 71 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,220 Okay. And continuous improvement. They're like undercover agents for the hospitality 72 00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:18,380 world. Okay. Got to know more. How does this work? So they carefully select and 73 00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:24,560 train people to pose as regular guests. Okay. They book stays. They eat at the 74 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,640 restaurants. They do the activities. Mm -hmm. All while observing and evaluating 75 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,660 every little thing. So like secret shoppers, but for the whole experience. 76 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,160 Exactly. Yeah. But it goes deeper than just, you know, is the room clean? Is the 77 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,880 service fast? Right. Right. Yeah. These mystery guests are looking at the little 78 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,280 things. Okay. So what are some of those things? What are they looking for? 79 00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:48,880 Everything. Like how welcoming the staff is. Mm-hmm. Is the atmosphere relaxing? 80 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:54,380 Are the amenities in good shape? Okay. How do they handle like special requests or 81 00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:58,020 something unexpected? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How does someone watch everything 82 00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:04,330 without anyone knowing? Yeah. And because no one knows. Right. The staff is acting 83 00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:08,630 naturally. Yeah. So you get a real sense of the service quality. Okay. So that 84 00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:12,630 makes sense, but it seems like a lot of pressure. Mm-hmm. Being a mystery guest, 85 00:06:12,990 --> 00:06:17,550 do they have special tools or something? They do. To keep track of everything? The 86 00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:24,270 le Luxure has this whole detailed evaluation system. Right. That covers every part of 87 00:06:24,270 --> 00:06:28,930 the experience from before you even arrive. Wow. To after you've left. Okay. 88 00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:35,050 So they take notes discreetly, often rely on their memory, and then they make this 89 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:38,670 huge report. So what happens to the report? They don't just give it to the 90 00:06:38,670 --> 00:06:42,830 client and say, good luck. Right. Right. They analyze it all and give specific 91 00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:47,210 recommendations tailored to each client. So they're not just finding problems. 92 00:06:47,370 --> 00:06:51,250 Yeah. They're helping to fix them. Exactly. It's a team effort. Okay. The 93 00:06:51,250 --> 00:06:55,270 le Luxure works with them to make the changes. Mm-hmm. And build that culture of 94 00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:58,950 always improving. Yeah. I can see how that would be so valuable for businesses. It's 95 00:06:58,950 --> 00:07:03,630 like having an outsider come in, give you a fresh perspective. Especially for luxury 96 00:07:03,630 --> 00:07:07,370 brands. Right. Because the expectations are so high. Yeah. Everything matters. 97 00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:11,970 Everything, yeah. You mentioned earlier that the le Luxure helps with brand identity. 98 00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:16,950 Mm-hmm. Building that unique story. Right. Does the feedback from the mystery guests 99 00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:21,810 play into that at all? Absolutely. Those insights can be really valuable. Okay. For 100 00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:26,190 example, if the mystery guests always say the staff goes above and beyond, Mm-hmm. 101 00:07:26,190 --> 00:07:30,170 Well, that becomes part of the brand's story. So it's not just about fixing 102 00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:33,490 what's wrong. Right. It's about figuring out what's working. Exactly. And using 103 00:07:33,490 --> 00:07:38,970 that. Yeah. To build the brand. And when you align the brand's story with what 104 00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:44,250 people actually experience, it creates that authenticity. Yeah. It builds trust. 105 00:07:44,510 --> 00:07:49,190 It seems like the le Luxure has this system. They do. Where everything connects. The 106 00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:53,590 travel planning. Right. The consulting. The mystery guests. It's all connected. 107 00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:57,550 And it's always improving. Yeah. Yeah. That's what sets them apart. Okay. But I'm 108 00:07:57,550 --> 00:08:02,370 curious about your take on all of this. You study the hospitality industry. I do. 109 00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:06,470 What stands out to you about their approach? Well, the thing that fascinates 110 00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:12,490 me is how they use data. Oh. But they also really understand people. Mm-hmm. They're 111 00:08:12,490 --> 00:08:16,290 not just looking at numbers. Yeah. They're looking at emotions. What motivates 112 00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:21,330 people. All the little things that shape how we experience things. It's not just 113 00:08:21,330 --> 00:08:25,370 checking boxes. It's creating those little moments that make people feel special. 114 00:08:25,390 --> 00:08:29,510 Exactly. That's what makes something truly memorable. Yeah. It's the combination of 115 00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:34,810 planning and that human connection. So would you feel any differently about 116 00:08:34,810 --> 00:08:40,350 staying at a hotel if you knew they used mystery guests? You know, it's a good 117 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:45,650 question. Yeah. I think for me, it would make me feel more confident. Okay. About 118 00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:50,550 their commitment to quality. Yeah. Knowing they're actively trying to improve. Right. 119 00:08:50,610 --> 00:08:54,510 It would reassure me that they want to give a good experience. It's like a seal 120 00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:58,270 of approval. It is. And I think that transparency is important. That's trust 121 00:08:58,270 --> 00:09:03,490 and luxury. Where trust matters so much. Yeah. For sure. It makes you wonder, would 122 00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:08,030 they ever go beyond Mallorca? Yeah. Would they? Could they? It's possible. Yeah. 123 00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:13,250 Their methods could work anywhere. Okay. So we've covered a lot. We have. What are 124 00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:18,030 the main takeaways for our listener? Well, I think the lecture really shows how 125 00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:22,690 important the details are. Both for creating amazing travel experiences. Yeah. 126 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:26,970 And for building a successful brand. Yeah. Yeah. It's not just about, you know, 127 00:09:26,970 --> 00:09:33,470 making things look nice. Right. It's about really getting how people think, 128 00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:38,910 anticipating what they'll need. Yeah. And going above and beyond, but in a way that 129 00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:44,870 feels genuine. You got it. le Luxure shows us that real luxury is about connecting with 130 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:49,010 people. Yeah. Making them feel like they belong. Like they're valued, not just a 131 00:09:49,010 --> 00:09:52,890 transaction. It's impressive how they've brought together this creative side of 132 00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:57,270 hospitality with like data analysis. They're using data to make things better, 133 00:09:57,310 --> 00:10:01,810 to improve the experience. Exactly. And that's a big takeaway for anyone in 134 00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:07,150 hospitality or any business, really. Data can be powerful, but you have to use it 135 00:10:07,150 --> 00:10:10,770 the right way. Yeah. Right. To make things better, not to lose that human touch. 136 00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:14,310 Yeah. It makes you think, what if more businesses thought like this? Yeah. What 137 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:17,830 if everyone was this focused on the details? I think we'd see a big change. 138 00:10:18,010 --> 00:10:23,190 Yeah. Imagine every interaction, every service with that level of care. It's a 139 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:27,050 pretty inspiring thought, honestly. It is. It makes me want to pay more attention to 140 00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:30,910 those little things myself.
