And we are thankful to highlight one of our very own, Fiona Rose, for her generous donation to the Koala Hospital Port Macquarie, in the form of adopting Paul.

Australia has been confronted with terrible drought and wildfires that have resulted in much of the country losing farmland, nature reserves, and treasured koalas, like Paul. Nicknamed the Luxe Collection Koala, Paul was one of the first live koalas to be found at one of the now burnt nature reserves. Suffering from severe dehydration, burned hands and feet from climbing down burning tree trunks, and singed fur on over 90% of his body, Paul is now receiving the treatment he needs to recover.

There are many more like Paul and many that, sadly, will not survive, but you can help. Donate and adopt one of the 18 koalas that need your help by visiting the Koala Hospital website today.

1. Convenient Location
Most times, an Airbnb is located outside the city center and travelers looking to save a few bucks don’t realize the low price point comes with a commute to the center of the city. Hotels, however, are typically located in the city center near popular destinations, transportation hubs or restaurants and cafes.

2. Limited Food Options
If you have food allergies, intolerances, or a special diet, it can be hard to find an Airbnb that will keep you safe. Hotels, however, are prepared to offer opportunities and will have a variety of options to provide for eating through room service, hotel restaurants, and local restaurants in the area.

3. Lacks Amenities and Privacy
At most hotels, amenities usually include a pool, gym, conference room, business center, and other useful services that one can use regardless of the type of trip one’s taking. Depending on the type of B&B that a traveler stays at, some locations will not include the option of having a private bathroom and instead, a shared restroom is offered. The layout of a B&B is not as consistent as the layout of a hotel can be. If you’re not open to sharing a space with other travelers, then a B&B may not be for you.

4. No 24/7 Service
Is your TV not working? Did you lose your key or lock yourself out of the room? Unfortunately, when staying at a B&B, most times the response time will be slower than that of a hotel. Conversely, when staying at a hotel, issues can be resolved within a matter of minutes with a quick call down to concierge.

Bleisure travelers are business travelers who integrate leisure into their work trips by combining the two. To meet the needs of this demographic, there is a new trend in the hotel industry to create experiential trips, which in turn increase event attendance and guest engagement. From choosing exciting destinations to curating special off-site activities, here are some tips to elevate your next business meeting.

Location – Location, location, location. It's not just in the destination but the actual setting of the meeting space that matters. Instead of choosing a big-brand property, consider opting for a boutique hotel with local flare. Many independent hotels are situated in prime locations throughout the world, within steps of local attractions and unique cultural experiences.

Meeting Dates – Opt for meeting dates that allow travelers to arrive a few days before or extend their stay afterward. Try striking a deal with your desired hotel on room blocks to encourage Sunday arrivals or weekend extended stays.

Step Out of the Hotel – Encourage guest exploration of the local area to create memorable off-site activities. Whether it's a team building activity that pulls attendees out of the boardrooms and onto an obstacle course or dinner reception at a local museum, the options are endless.

Whatever you choose, integrating leisure time into work life not only relieves stress – it makes employees better at their job. Recharging with exciting activities can boost creativity and help your team gear up for any challenge. After an important conference or presentation, don’t they deserve the reward of experiencing the city around them? We think so too!
