I just read an article that says that some resorts are
offering perks to guests who will give up their phones for a few hours. The
article mentioned snorkeling tours, prime spots by the pool, and free snacks,
among other things. One hotel even provides pillows for a pillow fort.
Why go to all that trouble, you ask, if people are paying you
handsomely, just so they can sit and look at their phones? Surely they’re less
trouble when they’re staring at their screens than when they’re actually
dealing with the staff.
The resorts are hoping that guests will feel more relaxed
and happy, and associate those feelings with their properties (and therefore book return visits or spread the word to their friends), if they can tune
out the outside world for a while.
I like their style.
