COMO Hotels and Resorts has introduced a new collection of experiences across their properties in ten countries, from Fiji to Bhutan. Launched this month, the experiences showcase each destination’s distinctive features, combining local expertise with COMO’s commitment to quality.
The collection, comprising over 50 year-round activities, caters to various interests. Adventure enthusiasts, culinary aficionados and those seeking spiritual renewal will find options tailored to their preferences. What sets these experiences apart is their exceptional access to local cultures, landscapes and traditions.
“How to shine a spotlight on local quality rather than globalized cliches? What is the value of privileged access in a world where ‘exclusive’ has been devalued by overuse? I ask myself these questions all the time,” said COMO’s founder-owner, Christina Ong, in a press statement. “These are also the questions which lie at the heart of our new Iconic Experiences campaign.”
