When our ability to travel freely came to a sudden halt due to the pandemic, it became apparent that travel is a real necessity in our lives.
For Four Seasons, Wanderlust has become WANDERMUST, reflecting a real need to travel.
The hotel group is recording an increase in internet searches and bookings, showing that demand is growing all the time.
Since March 2021, the volume of Google searches has increased by 8.6% compared to the previous months (January and February 2021). In addition, over the month of March, the number of calls to the Four Seasons Reservations Center has increased by 47% compared to February 2021.
Four Seasons also reported higher occupancy rates where vaccination is underway and travel restrictions have been relaxed.
Over February and March 2021, occupancy rates at Four Seasons hotels opened worldwide almost doubled, rising by 83%.
In March, bookings (Four Seasons all zones) increased by 55% compared to the previous month.
In the EMEA region , bookings rose by 67% in March 2021 compared with February 2021.
With this data in mind, @fourseasons is conducting a survey of its 1.1 million followers on Instagram with the aim of identifying the key drivers of travel, which destinations will be popular as soon as they reopen, the experiences to be had, and where the next trip will be.
Meanwhile, in the spirit of WanderMust, Four Seasons is inviting travelers to stop dreaming and start booking their next stay now. The hotel group has put together a few experiences to satisfy this need for “Wandermust”:

Perched on the upper floors of the hotel, with its rooftop pool, the Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid is the largest in the city. El Retiro, the signature massage, takes its name from the tranquility and calm of an afternoon in the park of the same name. The 60- or 90-minute massage is a harmonious experience that combines several massage techniques and hyperthermia to relieve tension deep within the muscle, leaving you feeling relaxed and deeply invigorated.
Adèle Van Damme, renowned sports coach and creator of Pilates Fusion, which provides deep muscle strengthening, and Julien Lizeroux, offer a holistic fitness program for body and mind. The 5-day program includes physical exercise for all levels, spa treatments and tasty, healthy meals. Every day, guests take part in a physical activity in the fresh Alpine air.
