LUXURY TRA VEL EXPO Experience an evening of entertainment! The Show s a native New Yorker, it is commonplace to take for granted all the fantastic cultural options the city has to offer. My commute home from work takes me past some of the greatest hotels, restaurants and landmarks in the world. This summer, I promised myself to take the time and make a dent in my growing list of “must do’s.” I got the chance to cross the top item off my list: Friends and I heard the New York Philharmonic perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, (one of his most popular piano concertos) and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, in Central Park, which hosts innumerable summer events. My excitement being on the Great Lawn where the Metropolitan Opera, the Pope and the Beatles had stood and performed was palpable. A beautiful fireworks display topped off the delightful evening under the stars. Relaxing and enjoying the clear, summer evening with more than 63,000 others was a phenomenal thrill. I hope you enjoyed your summer and had a chance to create experiences of your own, like I did. Taking time to replenish your energy allows you to return to the workplace renewed and ready to put your best foot forward. Revived and refreshed, now, you can present creative itineraries for your clients to enjoy. Leveraging your relationships with suppliers gives you the ability to expand itineraries and exceed your clients’ expectations. Access to more than 500 luxury suppliers at Luxury Travel Expo will allow you to improve clients’ itineraries and create partnerships with the world’s best hotels, attractions, spas and more. Make certain to add the event to your list of “must do’s” this year. It takes place December 2-4 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas (www. mandalaybay.com). Be sure to register and make hotel reservations before the room block sells out! Here is to keeping creativity brimming with new ideas!
