As the national April 17, 2016 carrier, South African Airways is honored to be chosen as the offi cial airline for the Symposium. We extend to you a warm welcome to Cape Town and thank you Dear Virtuosos, for your support. Welcome to Cape Town! How appropriate that we meet for our 36th annual Virtuoso Symposium in the Mother City, a destination known for its cultural diversity, warmth, and sense of community. When I first talked about communities last August at Virtuoso Travel Week, I quoted Simon Sinek’s definition: “A group who agrees to grow together.” In effect, we’re the 2016 Symposium community who are here to forge stronger bonds through shared travel experiences, so please take a moment to join me in thanking our Symposium sponsor partners who play such an integral role in how we’ll experience South Africa together. They’re all featured in the pages that follow. The Virtuoso Events team and our Cape Town hosts have really outdone themselves with spectacular venues and personal touches topped with a myriad of Design Your Day activities to fully immerse your- self in South Africa. Whether wine lands or peninsula, sidecar ride or city walk, philanthropic or retail therapy, we’ve got you covered. Of course, we have you covered on the business side of Symposium as well. We’ll hear from three com- pelling speakers: Eric McNulty – Director of Research, Harvard’s National Preparedness Leadership Ini- tiative, Dave Pavelko – Partnerships Director, Travel – Google Inc., and David Scowsill – President and CEO, World Travel & Tourism Council.

  • Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We Arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and Made the About 2-Hour Drive West to the Inny Bay B&B in Co
    Ireland 2010 Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and made the about 2-hour drive west to the Inny Bay B&B in Co. Westmeath, north of the town of Athlone in the Irish midlands, on Lough Ree. We learned a bit about using a GPS, because had neither a street address nor coordinates for the B&B. We had to get close and stop at a house to ask directions. The B&B is on private land at the end of a 2 km long private road. We took a three hour nap to adjust for jet lag, and then drove to the nearby town of Ballymahon where we had sea bass, and of course, potatoes for dinner. The Inny Bay B&B is a pretty place amid nice scenery, with pastures, swans, the lough and the Inny River. Sunday’s breakfast, like the others at this B&B was huge, with bacon, kippers, etc. We took a morning walk along the Inny River. Then we visited Locke’s Distillery Museum in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath. It’s said to be the world’s oldest licensed pot distillery. The works and museum were interesting and the sample of its whiskey was excellent. We next headed for Clonmacnoise, in Shannonbridge, south of Athlone. It’s an early (6th century) Christian site with an Abby ruin, a church (St. Kiernan’s, Church of Ireland), a tower ruin, and a graveyard noted for its Celtic (or “high”) crosses. On our way there we spotted a castle ruin and found the curator there.

  • Sri Lanka Tourism: Poised for Growth
    17 JUNE 2011 SRI LANKA TOURISM: POISED FOR GROWTH Inshita Wij Senior Associate www.hvs.com HVS India| 6th Floor, Building 8-C, DLF Cyber City Phase II, Gurgaon 122 002 INDIA Following the end of a three-decade long civil war in 2009, Sri Lanka has witnessed unprecedented growth. With a real GDP growth rate of 8% in 2010, a jump of 125.2% in the stock market in 2009, and 32% year-on-year growth in tourist arrivals in 2010, Sri Lanka is on its way to becoming a major tourism destination in South Asia. In the past one year, HVS India has received numerous inquiries about Sri Lanka from hotel operators, investors, and developers. These queries rightly come at a time when the country’s total rooms supply needs to be more than doubled in the next five years to meet the tourist arrivals targets. We have, therefore, in this article tried to highlight the current tourism landscape, highlighting the projected shortage of hotel rooms in the next five years and discussed in detail the factors that would help in tourism growth in the long term. We have also highlighted the future trends and challenges in the Sri Lankan hotel industry. The Current Tourism Landscape Sri Lanka witnessed a EXHIBIT 1: TOURIST ARRIVALS: 2000-2010 strong upsurge in tourism after the end of the civil 700,000 654,477 war in 2009.

  • the LUXURY KINGDOM of MOROCCO
    - The LUXURY KINGDOM OF MOROCCO The kingdom of Morocco is surely one of the world’s most romantic travel destinations. Maybe it’s the sensuous mud-and-clay architecture of kasbahs, or the exotic ambiance of palace-filled medieval cities like Marrakesh and Fès, or the spell cast by the mystical landscapes of the Sahara. Whatever it is, we are charmed by this ancient land, and we think you will be, too. Morocco has long held a mystique for travelers. From ancient kasbahs to bustling open-air souqs, Morocco’s cultural history is riveting. But so is its natural history. Discover another side of Morocco on this nature-focused odyssey through the most biodiverse place in North Africa. From the Mediterranean to the Sahara, we find a remarkable array of geographic features: rocky coast and desert dunes, deep gorges and High Atlas peaks, argan forests and palm- fringed lagoons. Such varied ecosystems create diverse flora and fauna habitat that’s home to a host of unique and rare species. From endemic flowers to rich birdlife and threatened mammals like the Barbary macaque, Morocco’s natural treasures are a fitting complement to its cultural riches. Like the intricate design of a Berber rug, Morocco weaves a spell that lasts a lifetime! - TITLE I - GENERAL PRESENTATION Why Morocco? , Morocco Map………………………………………………………… II – BRANDED HOTELS IN MOROCCO Branded hotels in Morocco……………………………………………………… III.
