    #VIRTUOSOSYM VIRTUOSO SYMPOSIUM SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS CAPE TOWN 2016 WELCOMES YOU TO CAPE TOWN South Africa is delighted to host the 2016 Virtuoso Symposium. 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.

  • To Brand Or Not to Brand? (Part 1) by Chloe Riley
    Link to Article To brand or not to brand? (Part 1) By Chloe Riley That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to go the route of Best Western, (which debuted some 10 brands over the past six years alone) or blaze the trail of the independent hotelier (see Ian Schrager’s latest iteration of Public House or Cyril Aouizerate’s highly communal Mob Hotels)? Here’s a look at the power of the brand. (Stay tuned next week for Part 2). ‘Is there customer confusion? I think there is’ Best Western knows something about crafting a brand. In just the past six years, the company’s debuted 10 brands, with those newer ones (Like Glo and Vib) comprising 40% of its current pipeline. Next year, the company wants that number to be closer to 50%. “We’re certainly focused on global growth, both in North America and Asia,” says Ron Pohl, Best Western’s senior vice president and chief operations officer. “The midmarket hotels in China are where the opportunity really lies.” But just how differentiated are these newer brands, both in the marketplace and even just between one another? A description of Vib could easily be IHG’s newly debuted midscale Avid or Red Lion’s Hotel RL. Design for the “connected traveler,” with “social spaces,” guest rooms have plenty of USB ports and smart TVs. And words like “convenience, technology and social engagement.” What are the elements of Vib and Glo that are truly differentiated? Pohl says the true differentiation is in target markets. While you’d find both a Vib and Glo in Manhattan, you wouldn’t find a Vib in Des Moines, Iowa for instance.
