Advice you’d like to share?
If you want to stand out from all the thousands of places claiming they are the best in the world, don’t talk in general terms (great, unique, awesome). Define your people’s character and way of life and offer others a comprehensive, all-encompassing experience of it.
Once you know your own tradition and personality, it is easy to understand your big purpose, grasp a common vision for the place, and find ways to develop your place in the best possible way.
