Nikola Tesla said it best, “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” Similarly, the day the global hotel industry…
1. An Essential Part of Heart-Based Hospitality In conventional hotel hospitality, the staff are trained to carry out their job duties as efficiently as they possible. They should show friendliness and care, but the spirit or energetic feeling of the hospitality they provide is not the main thing. But depending on whether their heart is…
