Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) Partners With Delos to Introduce Wellness Certificate for Meetings and Events

ALHI Becomes First Globally to Launch Delos’ Wellness Meeting Certificate Program

DALLAS, TX - Associated Luxury Hotels International, a global sales force dedicated to connecting luxury independent hotels with meeting professionals, joined forces with Delos, a global wellness and real estate technology company, to be the first to bring the Delos Wellness Certificate for Meetings and Events to market.

This inaugural offering, focused on bringing awareness to the value of wellness practices in meetings and conventions, is the first credential program under the ALHI x Delos partnership, with additional advanced training options planned in the future.

“Wellness around meetings goes well beyond the Protocols that have become part of our vernacular,” said ALHI President and CEO Michael Dominguez. “But there is so much opportunity for education around the things we can do to elevate the well-being of our attendees and create environments where we can thrive.”

About The Program

Backed by scientific research, the Delos Wellness Certificate for Meetings and Events is designed to provide meeting planners with the knowledge and resources needed to create healthier, more productive meeting environments. Participants learn how to design, plan and implement wellness solutions to create safer, healthier experiences for meeting and event attendees.

The program consists of a five-hour course leading planners through a series of videos on topics including air, water, light, nourishment, movement, comfort and mindfulness in a sequence that relates to key concepts in the wellness meeting space. Each video series poses important questions for self-reflection, opportunities to consider how best to equip a group for optimal meeting success, and required knowledge checks for comprehension.

“We know from market research and feedback from partners that business travelers are seeking healthier travel and meeting experiences that prioritize their well-being while away from home,” said Peter Scialla, President and COO of Delos. “We are excited to equip meeting planners with the tools they need to deliver healthier, more productive meetings to attendees.”
