Sensory Enticement + Glorified Retirement + New PRO Content!

Greetings Trend Hunters!

This week's featured PRO Trend, Sensory Enticement, is a sub-segment of our research in lifestyle and technology. With travel offering the chance to explore the unknown, consumers are looking beyond mere practicality and comfort to make travel stays more thrilling. Going beyond mere functionality, hotels are incorporating interactive and immersive elements to combine artistic fascination with methods of sensory engagement. Hypnotic hotel installations reflect a move towards more thought-provoking, and aesthetically engaging methods of consumer engagement.

My favorite example of Sensory Enticement is the Hi-Tech Sublimotion Restaurant that integrates dynamic lighting and projected mapping to create a truly unusual experience.

Cheers!
