Vice President Seth Nichols | V.P., Digital Media Diane Evans | V.P., Human Resources I’ve been a part of the luxury travel business for a while now, and for a time I thought I had a handle on all of the great hotels around the world; in fact, if someone asked me about a specific destination, I could rattle off a list of all of its top properties. Well, I am officially announcing that I can’t do that anymore, even though I feel that my staff and I log more time on the road visiting these wonderful destinations than anyone else in the industry. (It is our job, after all!) There are more luxury hotels now than ever before, and I can tell you that not even the most seasoned luxury travel advisor can keep a handle on them all, not to mention the wonderful things they have to offer. Since the last issue of Premier Spas & Romance you received, I’ve attended World Travel Market in London and The Leading Hotels of the World’s annual conference in Monte-Carlo, as well as our own Luxury Travel Expo in Las Vegas. What I’ve found is that there are new brands, new hotels and even new destinations popping up all over the place. For that reason, we continue to scour the globe for its finest hotels, bringing you the information that’s necessary to plan the perfect getaway for your clients. Also, you’ve likely started receiving weekly luxury e-newsletters from our sister pub, Luxury Travel Advisor, designed to keep you in the know on our fastpaced industry. You have our commitment, and it’s what we love to do! Hope to see you along the way. FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO PREMIER SPAS & ROMANCE, CALL (866) 344-1316.
