Committed to sustainability and local initiatives, Center Parcs is dedicated to delivering personalized, seamless and premium-quality stays for its guests.
Seeking to further distinguish its brand and foster brand loyalty, Center Parcs partnered with ScentAir to craft a fragrance that would enhance the overall guest experience.
CHALLENGE
In collaboration with ScentAir, Center Parcs defined the desired guest experience that would foster brand loyalty while elevating guest experiences and reinforcing brand identity.
