Evermore Orlando Resort Pioneers Social Connection as Wellness Metric

In response to a surge in traveler loneliness, Evermore Orlando Resort is experimenting with deliberately crafted social experiences to boost guests’ sense of connection. The resort’s initiative, highlighted by Skift, seeks to embed opportunities for meaningful interaction—such as group activities, communal dining, and curated events—directly into the stay design. By tracking guest feedback and engagement levels, Evermore aims to quantify social connection as a measurable wellness outcome. This approach signals a shift in hospitality, positioning emotional well‑being alongside physical health as a core service offering. The project could set a new industry standard, encouraging other hotels to integrate and assess social connectivity as part of their wellness portfolios.
