Yes, it's always social media's fault, but here it's not indifferent. It is an old Marketing technique to use content that provokes, that seduces with sexy copywriting that makes us imagine, desire and acquire. In the hotel industry there is a marriage of these communication strategies in networks where the role of ambassadors, influencers and other hotel visitors emphasizes the sensuality behind communication.
The role of ambassadors when visiting a hotel is to make followers imagine themselves enjoying all the services and highlight this same services as desirable. However, when viewing your experiences on social media, the role of these influencers takes on another importance. According to the experiences lived and published, the hotel positions itself in the market not only by adhering to the positioning of those who publish (the ambassadors), but also by the services advertised and the way they are provided.
The same extends to the nature of other visitors' publications, in the republication (repost) of images and texts that often portray special and intimate moments. And in a raw way, the hotel leverages its communication to the depth of each moment experienced by guests, whose scenery, music, decoration and environments were carefully provided by the hotel and its team, in an applied curation. We are thus exposed to what can be experienced and felt in a hotel in the open and often even live. And it brings us to the theme of awakening sensuality, the importance of doing nothing, the imperative that well-being assumes in places where there is calm and awareness of the value of the present and the intentional and relative activities that each guest must embrace to better enjoy your time, your existence in a hotel.

The “how” is important and continuing this work and extending it to sexual health. And just like other practices that promote mental health (good nutrition, yoga activities, meditation retreats, etc.), it is also important here how, in a non-intrusive way, hotels can promote sexual health or reflect on the range of services available. in a hotel, a wellness mindset in this field.
