Stay for the Story explores how hotels can shift from selling nights to designing and retailing experience-led stays that drive higher guest spend, stronger loyalty, and measurable commercial growth.

Drawing on Journey’s internal data, industry research, and real-world hotel examples, this white paper shows how structured experience programming, from wellness and dining to activities and narrative-led itineraries, unlocks Return on Experience (RoX).

Inside, you’ll discover how experience-first hotels are increasing average order value, improving marketing efficiency, and positioning the property itself as the destination.
