Pavilions, Lounges, Cabanas Create Private Guest Oasis
April 21, 2009
In the hospitality industry, the success of boutique hotels, restaurants and resorts is influenced by the overall guest experience that each property or establishment is able to impart on their patrons and ultimately drives the bottom line. TUUCI, a global leader of innovative shade structures, is working with businesses to enhance that experience by providing the world's finest lounges, pavilions, cabanas and other unique outdoor products that can be as profitable for the establishment as they are relaxing for its guests.
"Hotels, clubs and resorts alike are increasingly turning to higher quality shade equipment to define their properties and provide the comfort and ambiance of luxury desired by their guests,"said Dougan Clarke, founder and CEO of TUUCI. "There is no substitute for durable and beautiful shade systems, which impact the relaxation experience and often provide considerable revenue."
Large shade structures, such as pavilions, lounges and cabanas, can provide an outlet for additional revenue by incorporating desirable outdoor services such as a spa or massage area, private butler services and more. Hourly and daily rentals also can be appealing to guests who want a romantic retreat or a spacious shaded area to gather for the day.
"Guests enjoy the comfort and privacy of shade structures which fulfill their vacation fantasies of tranquil relaxation,”"Clarke said. "Many guests desire a more private and secluded retreat during both day time and evening hours and are pleased have these amenities available even at an incremental cost."
Big enough for lounge chairs, intimate dining and even a changing room, TUUCI's pavilions also incorporate lighting options, fans, flat screen televisions and refrigerators. These outdoor rooms are ideal for all-day poolside adventure. TUUCI lounges can be placed directly on the beach, poolside or even on a rooftop providing the relaxing escape vacationers crave. With plush pillows and surrounding drapery, guests can enjoy the outdoor environment while staying cool in the shade of the lounge. Cabanas provide a shaded retreat perfect for two or an area for children to play safely out of the sun.
Product durability and easy maintenance are also key factors for product rental at hotels and resorts. Built for the hospitality industry, TUUCI boasts products that are made to withstand the harshest outdoor environments, while still maintaining the ability to be taken apart quickly and easily.
"Our product designs are a natural extension of our expertise with parasols,"Clarke said. "By combining comfort, attention to detail and outstanding craftsmanship, we are enhancing the guest experience while also providing an additional revenue stream for our customers."
