It makes sense then that sounds we commonly associate with holidays might help bring people closer to those sought-after feelings of rest and relaxation even before people arrive at their getaway destinations."Having spent most of my career in and around hotels, I've always loved the look on people's faces when they walk through the door and seeing the happiness of a holiday about to begin."
