Hospitality Powered by CORE

We believe that offering a place to stay is never just about walls and beds. It is about creating a sense of welcome, safety, and belonging. Hospitality is the quiet art of making others feel at home wherever they arrive from. It transforms shelter into comfort, rest into renewal, and strangers into guests.
With CORE, every detail of this experience from spaces and stays to services and the stories woven around them can be managed with clarity. However you choose to host, CORE adapts with ease, supporting your hospitality while keeping the human connection at its centre.

ResortJP

ResortJP is a collection of luxury villa accommodations in Niseko, offering guests a blend of modern design, natural serenity, and authentic Japanese onsen experiences. Each property is crafted to provide privacy and comfort, creating a refined retreat in one of Japan’s most celebrated resort regions. For those looking for a more thoughtful destination on Hokkaido, ResortJP is a distinctive and elevated option.

To facilitate these stays, ResortJP uses CORE. With a portfolio spread across the bustling resorts of Niseko, having staff available at all destinations simultaneously is both costly, and impractical. Instead of this, CORE empowers ResortJP to run a leaner operation, with a self check in and check out model. Using CORE's user journeys and booking management, from start to finish, ResortJP's guests have a seamless experience from booking to heading home.

Alongside this, CORE gives ResortJP more too - a fully customisable and owned booking process. Instead of being beholden to Online Travel Agencies, CORE allows hospitality businesses like ResortJP to circumvent the booking fees attached to these sites. The customisability of the booking process allows them to package their stays in attractive ways rather than the on-rails approach that other sites make you stick to.

CORE has helped transform the direct booking process of ResortJP from just a simple point of sale, to an integrated, cost effective, branded part of their guests' journey.

Wontonmeen

Wontonmeen is the nexus of hostel and creative hub; playing host to music events and community activities, as well as hostel guests. Designed with vintage décor and filled with instruments, coillectibles and art, it offers both a space to stay and a space to expereince local culture. Wontonmeen is a gathering place for musicians artists and travellers alike, all seeking an authentic slice of Hong Kong.

With a large amount of distinctive rooms available, Wontonmeen faced the challenge of displaying all of their offerings in a bookable setting. With the index function of CORE, Wontonmeen has the ability to display all of their options and availabikty in one place, as well as the ability to present a selection of photos for each offering. Guests can find the exact room they want, and then book it directly straight away.

Just like ResortJP, owning their own booking platform allows Wontonmeen to improve the mrgin on each booking by avoiding platform fees and commission charges. CORE never charges commission, because we want our clients and partners to thrive as much as possible.

EXP.

EXP. has a diverse selection of stays across Hong Kong and Japan, from capsule hotels in the city to ski in ryokans in the mountains and private retreats designed for reflection. Bringing these different formats together under one system is no simple task, as each requires its own booking flow, staffing model, and guest journey.

To answer this, EXP. built CORE. The platform manages every stay in a single place, from self check in for late night capsule arrivals to centralized oversight of seasonal ryokan operations and localized payments in multiple markets. At the same time, CORE gives each property the freedom to present its own identity through customizable booking pages.

For EXP., CORE has turned direct booking into more than just a transaction. It is an integrated and guest focused part of the journey that makes the whole portfolio easier to run and easier to grow.
