As a community, we pledge to serve, understand and respect many ethnic cultures.

The Chinese culture is known for creating intelligence, insight and creativity as a progress towards a better future for families and friends. That said, we must ensure that we respect and honor the many ethnic cultures and entertain their festivities as an education for many families, children and friends.

During the two weeks of the Lantern Festival, we, as a hotel, received a lot of very positive guest feedback regarding the display of lights. Some of the guests were ecstatic that they did not have to travel to China, because of the valuable education and family insight they received on the grounds of our own hometown.

A lot of our guests had read about the festival, and travelled to see the display all the way from Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Tucson, as well as our neighboring towns of Scottsdale, Phoenix, Avondale and Carefree.

They took a lot of pictures of the event, and gave extremely favorable ratings to our town for hosting the festival. In return, our business collected a lot of privilege and sales tax revenue for our state and town from the sales of rooms and food.

As a business, we encourage events that expose Fountain Hills. In turn, such exposure and PR bring in a lot of revenue and create jobs for our residents. As a town, we need to create a town of “riches” (i.e. good education, quality of life, plentiful jobs, entertainment, family happiness and values).

In turn, these “riches” create a value-added community and income incentives for everyone!
