I particularly enjoyed this clever article written by JoAnna Haugen in ROOTED
JoAnna observed that the chance addition of an "s" changed High-Value, a transactional term, to High-Values which speaks more to respect, behaviour and subjective worth.
For me this led to a clearer distinction between the two:
High-Value travellers, the ones destinations are increasingly targeting post Covid because of their potential to spend more, and
High-Values Travellers who presumably also have the potential to spend big, but are accompanied by a deep sense of curiosity, interest and respect for both people and place
Reading JoAnna's article it became increasingly clear to me that it is the High-Values travellers that business like our need to focus on. Follow the link for tips on how to change your thinking to better attract these travellers.
