Riviera Maya, Q. Roo, México – Sunset World Resorts & Vacation Experiences is the first hotel chain in Mexico to be trained in the ancient Japanese flower arrangement technique called Ikebana. The floral art has more than 500 years of history.
Staff members at Hacienda Tres Ríos, Sunset Fishermen, Sunset Lagoon, and Ocean Spa Hotel participated in the Introduction to the Ikebana World workshop to learn and perfect their skills in this ancient decoration technique that will be used in all of Sunset World facilities.
Sunset World Resorts & Vacation Experiences will apply these skills to make decorative flower arrangements in its facilities as well as for special occasions and events.
The materials used for the flower arrangements are grown at Sunset World properties in order to maintain its mission to be a more sustainable company and to teach staff members new techniques and skills.
Ikebana is a Japanese floral art technique that comes from the ancient tradition of offering flower arrangements to Buda. Ikebana is based in the harmony of a simple lineal construction and the inclusion of flowers and other objects offered by nature. Through it, nature and humanity are connected through the flow of the stations and the cycles of life. The materials that can be used are flowers, leaves, cereals, herbs, stems, seeds, fruits, vegetables. The materials can be alive, dried, or artificial.
Sunset World has become one of the most solid tourism corporations in the Mexican Caribbean. Due to its successful marketing, vertical and horizontal operation systems and direct sales, these strategies have allowed the hotelier company to grow and generate more than 5,000 jobs in Mexico, U.S., India, Philippines and England. Other important companies that fall under the Sunset World Corporation include the Marina Club Lagoon, the travel agency Sunrise Travel, car rental agency Royal Rent a Car, and its own progressive marketing firm.
