What makes heritage properties stand out

To improve the experience and satisfaction of visitors, the online platform Our Heritage Homes recently held a webinar to guide heritage property owners.

The session focused on “Understanding guests’ motivation and unique preferences,” sharing best practices, tips, and a case study from the Philippines. Our Heritage Homes (OHH) was created for heritage homeowners and heritage enthusiasts, operating in different destinations in more than 10 countries.

In the talk, Danieli Mai Corpuz, OHH community manager in the Philippines, and licensed real estate broker and appraiser, said heritage homes showcase traditional craftsmanship, antique furniture, and unique architectural styles that attract guests. However, property owners should add opportunities for guests to create memorable experiences as an added value.
