- 9:09like
- 9:10you're

- 9:14and
- 9:14they

- 9:14good
- 9:14review
- 9:15and
- 9:15they
- 9:15leave.
- 9:15And
- 9:16then
- 9:16there
- 9:16have
- 9:16been
- 9:16the
- 9:16sandals
- 9:17and
- 9:17the

- 9:17and
- 9:17the
- 9:17all
- 9:18inclusive
- 9:18places
- 9:18who
- 9:19have
- 9:19focused
- 9:19on
- 9:19the

- 9:20and,
- 9:20the
- 9:20butlers
- 9:21and
- 9:21the
- 9:21waiters
- 9:21and
- 9:21the
- 9:22all,
- 9:22making
- 9:23sure
- 9:23that
- 9:23the
- 9:23experience
- 9:24is
- 9:25way
- 9:25up
- 9:25here
- 9:25versus
- 9:26wherever.
- 9:27And
- 9:28so
- 9:28they're
- 9:28still
- 9:28called
- 9:29though
- 9:29resorts
- 9:29and
- 9:29hotels.
- 9:30They're
- 9:30not
- 9:30called
- 9:30experiential
- 9:31resorts.
- 9:31So
- 9:32I
- 9:33agree
- 9:33with
- 9:33you
- 9:34that
- 9:34is
- 9:34the
- 9:34direction.
- 9:35And
- 9:36I
- 9:36think
- 9:36most
- 9:36people
- 9:36here
- 9:37would
- 9:37that
- 9:38is
- 9:39higher
- 9:40from
- 9:41a
- 9:41profit
- 9:41standpoint
- 9:42and
- 9:42is
- 9:42clearly
- 9:43the
- 9:43direction
- 9:44that
- 9:44a
- 9:44segment
- 9:45of
- 9:45guests
- 9:45in
- 9:45a
- 9:46large
- 9:46segment
- 9:46is
- 9:46probably
- 9:47trending.
- 9:48And
- 9:48I
- 9:48think
- 9:48the
- 9:48numbers
- 9:48will
- 9:49back
- 9:49that
- 9:49up
- 9:49that
- 9:49you
- 9:49guys
- 9:49can
- 9:50share
- 9:50with
- 9:50us
- 9:50in
- 9:50a
- 9:50second,
- 9:50but
- 9:51do
- 9:51we
- 9:51need
- 9:51a
- 9:51separate
- 9:53track
- 9:53for
- 9:53this?
- 9:54No,
- 9:54because
- 9:54there
- 9:54are
- 9:54two
- 9:54apps
- 9:55of
- 9:55the
- 9:55same
- 9:55coin.
- 9:56And
- 9:56this
- 9:56is
- 9:56just
- 9:57my
- 9:57personal
- 9:57feeling.
- 9:58Outdoor
- 9:58hospitality
- 9:59is
- 9:59experiential
- 10:00hospitality.
- 10:01If
- 10:01you
- 10:02embrace
- 10:02the
- 10:02experiential
- 10:03component
- 10:03of
- 10:04it.
- 10:04So
- 10:04these
- 10:05aren't
- 10:05two
- 10:05separate
- 10:05things.
- 10:06And
- 10:06so
- 10:07when
- 10:07I
- 10:07refer
- 10:07to
- 10:08experiential
- 10:08hospitality,
- 10:09that's
- 10:10been
- 10:10part
- 10:10of
- 10:10the
- 10:10hotel
- 10:11world
- 10:11for
- 10:11a
- 10:11very
- 10:12long
- 10:12time.
- 10:12It's
- 10:12not
- 10:13a
- 10:13new
- 10:13concept.
- 10:14Hotel
- 10:14has
- 10:14done
- 10:14that
- 10:15very
- 10:15well,
- 10:15and
- 10:15they've
- 10:16really
- 10:16made
- 10:16it
- 10:16an
- 10:16art
- 10:17form.
- 10:17And
- 10:17they're
- 10:18really
- 10:18doing
- 10:18a
- 10:18lot
- 10:18of
- 10:19innovative
- 10:19and
- 10:19interesting
- 10:20things
- 10:20right
- 10:21now.
- 10:22So
- 10:22I
- 10:22think
- 10:22when
- 10:22I'm
- 10:23talking
- 10:23about
- 10:23experiential
- 10:24hospitality,
- 10:24I'm
- 10:24talking
- 10:25about

- 10:26hospitality
- 10:27asset
- 10:27class,
- 10:28but
- 10:28taking
- 10:28some
- 10:28of
- 10:28those
- 10:29best
- 10:29practices,
- 10:30programmatic
- 10:31pricing,
- 10:32wrapping
- 10:32more
- 10:33experiences,
- 10:33selling
- 10:34the
- 10:34zip
- 10:34code
- 10:34as
- 10:35we've
- 10:35talked
- 10:35about
- 10:35before.
- 10:36I
- 10:36think
- 10:37that's
- 10:37when
- 10:37experiential

- 10:40marries
- 10:41very
- 10:41well
- 10:41to
- 10:42outdoor
- 10:42hospitality.
- 10:43So
- 10:43one
- 10:43does
- 10:43not
- 10:44replace
- 10:44the
- 10:44other,
- 10:45it

- 10:52to
- 10:52who
- 10:52is
- 10:52your
- 10:52customer.
- 10:53And
- 10:53that's
- 10:53exactly
- 10:54thing
- 10:54for
- 10:54the
- 10:54park
- 10:55is
- 10:55that
- 10:55park
- 10:56has
- 10:56to
- 10:56know
- 10:57their
- 10:57customer.
- 10:58And
- 10:58so
- 10:58if
- 10:59they
- 10:59are
- 11:00a
- 11:00specific
- 11:00type
- 11:01of

- 25:25And
- 25:25so
- 25:25that
- 25:26I

- 32:23But
- 32:23I
- 32:23don't

- 32:41a
- 32:41deeper
- 32:42dive
- 32:42on
- 32:42analytics
- 32:43because
- 32:43the
- 32:43customer
- 32:44is
- 32:44speaking
- 32:45every
- 32:45day.
- 32:45The

- 32:46speaking
- 32:46when
- 32:46they
- 32:46do

- 32:48speaking
- 32:49with
- 32:49what
- 32:49they
- 32:49spend
- 32:49while

- 32:50If

- 32:52that
- 32:52customer,
- 32:53then
- 32:53you're
- 32:53just
- 32:53not
- 32:53hearing.
- 32:55What
- 32:55the

- 32:57this,
- 32:57but
- 32:58I'm
- 32:58not
- 32:58getting
- 32:58that.
- 32:59So
- 33:00of
- 33:00course,
- 33:00doing
- 33:00a
- 33:00deep
- 33:00dive
- 33:01on

- 33:03into
- 33:03that
- 33:03quite
- 33:03a
- 33:04bit.
- 33:04It

- 33:22It
- 33:22will
- 33:23spread
- 33:23and
- 33:23pervade
- 33:24it
- 33:24by
- 33:25necessity
- 33:25because
- 33:26that's
- 33:26what
- 33:26always
- 33:26happens
- 33:27with
- 33:27innovation,
- 33:28something
- 33:28somebody
- 33:29has
- 33:29to
- 33:29move
- 33:29first
- 33:30and
- 33:30then
- 33:30all
- 33:30of
- 33:30a
- 33:30sudden,
- 33:30wow,
- 33:31that
- 33:31actually
- 33:31makes
- 33:31a
- 33:31lot
- 33:32of

- 33:32but
- 33:32it
- 33:32is.
- 33:33Go
- 33:33ahead,
- 33:34Sandy.
- 33:34I

- 33:41couple
- 33:41of
- 33:41years

- 33:44market
- 33:44occupancy
- 33:45was
- 33:46just,
- 33:46something
- 33:47that
