About Bliss of Hinton
Our Mission
The origins and development of Bliss of Hinton, a private integrated experiential learning and resort development, are the result of the beliefs, experience and expertise of the investors and senior management. Bliss of Hinton will bring together a hotel/resort, conference centre, retail
activities, food and beverage offerings and a research and study facility.
In part, the concept has been driven by a conviction that the hospitality and visitor industry requires a significant paradigm shift, not only to meet the realities of today’s marketplace and human capital challenges but also to ensure that the industry itself is an effective contributor in improving the quality-of-life in the communities in which the industry operates. It is also driven by the realization of the need for a visitor economy where the industry plays an influential role in helping to create inspired communities through community economic development. The focus of Bliss of Hinton is on smaller communities and hospitality operations.
Our Team
Our team of shareholders, architects, educators, academic researchers and hospitality professionals has decades of global experience in creating memorable experiences, experiential learning and world-class developments and cannot wait to get to work in the community of Hinton.
