MICHAEL GOH,

PRESIDENT OF RESORTS WORLD CRUISES

"POST-PANDEMIC, TRAVELLERS WANT MORE PERSONAL SPACE."

The president of Resorts World Cruises believes that human interaction is key to creating a positive, lasting memory and experience.

In exactly five words, how would you describe what you do to someone you're meeting for the first time?

We offer amazing vacation experiences! How has the definition of luxury travel changed since pre-pandemic times versus now? The global pandemic has brought about a shift in the mindset of travellers. Post-pandemic, we observed that personal space and personal services have become important elements of luxury travel. There are many contributing factors, but the pandemic has given rise to more travellers being conscious of wanting more personal space. They are also willing to spend money after a long absence of travel during the pandemic lockdown.

At Resorts World Cruises (RWC), this is clearly visible with our Palace offerings, A-Ship-Within-A-Ship exclusive enclave that features a myriad of luxurious Palace Accommodations. Additional enhanced privileges include access to the VIP lounge with priority check-in and out, exclusive complimentary dining at the Palace restaurant and speciality restaurants, a private pool, and other amenities. Our Palace guests will also be pampered with our signature 24-hour butler service.

How does RWC strike a balance between preserving timeless elegance and incorporating cutting-edge innovations to meet the changing preferences of affluent travellers?
