Award-winning journalist, producer, and adventure traveler Kinga Philipps has explored the globe, from diving shipwrecks to producing television across major networks. Philipps spoke with Cincy Lifestyle from the Dominican Republic to unveil Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection’s first-ever Time Rich Report —a nationwide survey revealing that 82% of Americans feel they aren’t getting enough meaningful time with the people who matter most. She also shared travel tips on how resorts, like those within Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, can help you feel present and connected with the people you love.
KINGA’S TOP TIPS FOR RECLAIMING QUALITY TIME:
PURPOSE — Know your intention for the trip. Is it about connecting with your family, your significant other, or yourself?
UNPLUG TO CONNECT — Take part in “Mindful Moments” with no-phone hours to slow down, reconnect and be fully present.
NEW EXPERIENCES — Try something new together, like a cooking class, diving or a yoga class.
