Ever wondered what it takes to earn the prestigious triple five-star Forbes Travel Guide rating? In this episode, we sit down with Mark Langevin, General Manager of the Ritz-Carlton in Grand Cayman, who provides an insider’s perspective on elevating resort standards to this elite level. Mark discusses the essential role of teamwork and the relentless pursuit of excellence, emphasizing how 900 dedicated 'ladies and gentlemen' contributed to this remarkable achievement. He shares the joy of celebrating this milestone with his team and the continuous commitment to maintaining these high standards.

We explore travel behaviors and booking patterns in the Caribbean, and the changing expectations of travelers in the post-COVID era, with a focus on quality, authentic experiences.  Mark explains how the Ritz-Carlton's personalized service culture perfectly aligns with these evolving guest priorities and highlights multi-generational travel trends that cater to families with diverse needs. 

Our discussion covers the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the hospitality industry. Mark highlights the necessity of staying ahead of customer wellness trends and attending industry events like the FTG 'The Summit' to gain valuable insights and best practices. 

We hope you enjoy this discussion and invite you to consider a warm escape to Grand Cayman to meet Mark and his amazing 5 Star team.
