3-set to capitalize on the fact that until now

If you are lucky, you may be granted permission to enter the primary temple in the center of the courtyard. Stepping over the high threshold and into the inner sanctuary, you can barely see, because the room is dark and the air is thick with a mixture of smoke from the incense and gas lamps. But slowly, brilliant murals reveals, along with elaborate altar, behind which a group of finely detailed gold and bronze Buddhas seems almost to glow. for a split second, it is possible to feel that you are the first non-Bhutanese who has ever seen such a sight. that's feeling, of course, is solid travel-industry gold. and a new luxury resort is set to capitalize on the fact that until now, even 200$ a day, no accommodation in Bhutan could be considered international quality.

Answer

Hi Morteza.
1. "finely detailed" This just means that the statues were very intricate and ornate. They had a lot of details in their carving.
2. "solid travel industry gold" Anything that is solid gold is very good and worth a lot of money.  This phrase means that when a person sees a sight like this, that few others have seen, it can be very valuable for the people who sold them the trip.
3. "set to capitalize on the fact that until now" Capitalising on something means to take advantage of it, usually to make money. The hotel is going to make a lot of money because they are going to take advantage of the fact that no other quality hotels exist there.

I hope this helps. If I need to explain more, just send me a message. Have a great weekend.

Hello Morteza.

The paragraph is not very well written with some mistakes with grammar, spelling and vocabulary. Not very conducive to learning! But this is what I believe those phrases mean:

'finely detailed' means intricately designed and decorated.
'solid, travel industry gold' means solid gold within the travel industry. something rare and precious.
the final sentence is badly written but I think they want to say that a hotel is opening and is going to gain recognition as the first international standard hotel in Bhutan. 'be set to' means 'plans to'. 'capitalise on' means 'to make money from'.

I hope this helps!
