JW Marriott, a luxury hotel brand owned by Marriott International, announced the arrival of its second property in Germany with the opening of JW Marriott Hotel Berlin.

Owned by one of the leading hospitality investment companies Al Rayyan Tourism Investment Company (ARTIC), JW Marriott Hotel Berlin brings guests together through thoughtfully crafted spaces, warm service, and a commitment to well-being. Converting from Hotel Berlin Central District, this announcement marks the completion of the first stage in the property’s transformation to join the iconic JW Marriott brand, set to offer a different perspective to the capital city’s hospitality scene.

“JW Marriott blends a legacy of extraordinary hospitality with a modern commitment to mindfulness and well-being that is so important to today’s luxury traveler,” said Bruce Rohr, Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. “JW Marriott Hotel Berlin brings these pillars to life – from its JW Garden where guests can harvest their own herbs, to its not one, but two fitness centers and rejuvenating spa – to offer a holistic, wellness-forward stay.”

“It is with great pleasure that we today unveil JW Marriott Hotel Berlin. We always strive to ensure that our investments have a distinctive imprint on the markets in which we operate, bringing value and benefitting local communities, and JW Marriott Hotel Berlin will be no exception. Since its establishment, ARTIC has recognized Marriot International as a valued and important partner. Today’s announcement is a testament to our shared vision for modern hospitality and commitment to serving guests in distinctive and creative ways,” said his Excellency Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, Chairman of ARTIC.

Location and design in harmony with nature

Located on the central Stauffenbergstraße street, the 505-room JW Marriott Hotel Berlin is directly adjacent to Tiergarten, one of the largest urban gardens in Germany boasting almost 520 acres of forested ground, tree-lined paths, and sparkling lakes. Interiors have been led by design practice El Ghoneimi, with references and inspirations from the neighboring Tiergarten found throughout the hotel with a color scheme of dark green and warm browns complemented by bright marble. Throughout the restaurants, public areas and rooms, artwork reflecting the beauty of nature brings a joyful and inspiring energy, while from the terrace of the hotel’s incredible Presidential Suite, guests can have their mind and soul nourished with expansive views of Tiergarten and the wider cityscape.

Nourishing epicurean experiences

JW Marriott Hotel Berlin’s culinary offering, led by Chef Friedemann Heinrich, gives guests the choice of eight dining destinations, all of which have undergone a full transformation. Each dining concept is underpinned by a commitment to high-quality produce, fresh local sourcing, and sustainability while delivering exquisite, mouth-watering creations. Locally-sourced ingredients take on a whole new meaning at Market Restaurant where guests can pluck herbs for breakfast from the JW Garden or take away seeds to continue growing produce at home. Naturally taking center stage is the debut of JW Steakhouse in Germany, serving steak and meat specialties from the finest cuts, along with vegetarian and vegan choices for all to enjoy. The restaurant is set to quickly become the place in Berlin that brings people together for meaningful moments around delicious cuisine. The Berlin Baking Company offers a casual all-day café experience with fresh juices, sandwiches, bowls, and salads. Further choices include the elegant Lobby Lounge Bar serving Champagne and Afternoon Tea along with snacks, aperitifs, and coffees throughout the day; the Cigar Lounge or the lively Bar 26 – with the hotel’s own ‘hanging garden’.

Spaces for connection

JW Marriott Hotel Berlin has some of the most extensive meetings and events offerings in the city with more than 48 event spaces spanning over 6,290 sqm, including the largest ballroom in Berlin with the capacity to seat over 2,300 guests. Working in tandem with the brand’s mindful approach to dining and design, the meeting and events spaces will encourage guests and attendees to foster purposeful connections, with the expert events team on hand to anticipate the needs of each client.

Uplifting moments of tranquility

Embodying the JW Marriott brand’s commitment to the well-being of guests, JW Marriott Hotel Berlin is home to a revitalizing spa, complete with a swimming pool, sauna, steam bath, and two treatment rooms – together covering 347 sqm of space dedicated to relaxation and wellness. Guests can enjoy access to exceptional treatments throughout their stay encouraging them to discover the city in a more relaxed, balanced manner. In addition, two fitness centers ensure guests can maintain their routines while on the road.

“The debut of JW Marriott Hotel Berlin is an exciting moment for the city, defined by our harmonious approach to nature,” said Aramis Gianella-Borradori, General Manager, JW Marriott Hotel Berlin. “We look forward to welcoming everyone – from families to business travelers, solo travelers to group trips – in this haven in the heart of the city.” The ongoing development of the hotel will see the property’s full transformation finalized by 2025, with the complete renovation of all guestrooms.

Important steps to take if your flight is delayed

More than 17,000 flights were delayed, mainly due to adverse weather conditions, in the USA, over the holiday period alone.

That would have resulted in a lot of frustrated passengers.

Facing the prospect of a delayed flight can leave passengers feeling frustrated and anxious, so it’s important to understand how you should approach the situation if you were to discover your upcoming flight is going to be delayed.

With this in mind, airline industry experts have shared 5 important tips air travelers should know if their flight is delayed.

1 – Speak to the airline’s customer service team

If you’re able to speak to a representative of the airline at the airport then great, but in some cases, it’s more efficient to ring the customer service team. The staff members at the airport will have a flight load of people to try and accommodate for and they will only be able to do so much, so ringing the customer service line could prove to be quicker and more beneficial to you.

2 – Use social media to your advantage

Sadly, not all customer service teams are as helpful as they should be and getting in touch with them via a phone call isn’t always easy. Airlines value their reputation on social media and platforms like Twitter are a great way to get in contact with an employee. If you do use Twitter to reach out, then it’s important to remain polite and calm as this will work in your favor.

3 – Check your insurance documents

If your flight is delayed for a long period of time, then it’s worth checking your insurance policy. Not all policies will cover flight disruption, but most will, so it’s worth reading your policy in detail as you may be covered and not have to potentially pay out for an alternative method of transport or accommodation, which may be the case for a passenger with no insurance.

4 – Understand your rights as a passenger

If your flight is delayed for a certain amount of time then the majority of airlines are expected to re-book you onto an upcoming flight, but in some cases, you’re entitled to more than just a new flight ticket. It’s important to understand your rights as you may be able to claim back expenses for food and drink, as well as accommodation as a result of the delayed flight, so be sure to keep hold of any receipts you have.

5 – Arrive at the airport early

If you notice your flight has been delayed before you get to the airport, then it’s wise to leave early so you can get to the check-in desk and try and secure an alternative flight. Most people traveling on the same flight will want an alternative flight as soon as possible, but it’s unlikely that all passengers will be accommodated for, so it’s best to arrive early to ensure you have the best chance of being given an alternative ticket.

Ahead of the beginning of the winter term in January, the first intake of successful applicants attended a pre-departure gathering, where the group of 94 male and 46 female scholars were briefed by ADEK’s Khotwa advisors. Representatives of the American and Canadian embassies briefed the scholars about what to expect in their respective countries of study.

“Our students are about to embark on an exciting journey of discovery where they will learn beyond the classroom and gain invaluable insights into international mindsets and cultures,” said Dr. Bashaer Almatrooshi, executive director – Talent Enablement Sector at ADEK. “This experience will enhance their personal and academic development and we trust them to make the very best of this opportunity. The majors our students will study represent priority sectors in the UAE’s national economic agenda. Khotwa (RizeUp) embodies ADEK’s commitment to offer unique learning opportunities that empower Emiratis to fulfil their potential and empower them to contribute to the development of the national economy.”

Originally designed for an initial intake of 100 successful applicants, ADEK increased the inaugural Khotwa (RizeUp) program capacity following the candidates’ results in the selection process and their performance during the bootcamp. This included behavioural interviews and self-assessments, group case studies, situational simulation, and soft skills training. Over 1,600 students registered for the program with 140 scholars selected after scoring the highest points in the assessment criteria.

“The talented pool of candidates showcased a strong aptitude for learning, a willingness to take on new challenges and a commitment to succeed. We were encouraged to expand the intake of the first year and help more scholars to jumpstart their higher education journey,” added Almatrooshi. “We are confident that the selected scholars will take on their new journeys with perseverance and we will in turn continue to support them in every stage through 24/7 advisory support from January through to graduation.”

The 140 successful candidates will now study for two years at community colleges in North America and Europe, with 114 scholars set to travel to the US and 26 to Canada, before transferring their credit to an international or local university to complete a bachelor’s degree.

While overseas, the Khotwa (RizeUp) students will live with local families rigorously selected by ADEK. The homestay program will provide students with a safe and welcoming atmosphere during their studies. This opportunity will also help students improve their English language skills while fostering their cultural understanding and tolerance.  In addition to covering tuition fees and living costs throughout their homestay program at community college, as well as during their bachelor’s degree, Khotwa (RizeUp) students will also receive living allowances.

The AED 1.9 billion Khotwa (RizeUp) program aims to provide quality education opportunities for 6,000 Emiratis by 2028. The initiative delivers alternative higher education pathways for high school graduates from a variety of academic and social backgrounds who have not previously received scholarships. The fully funded program provides students with broad international educational experiences to empower them to shift their mindset and achieve their full potential, as well as contribute to the growth of Abu Dhabi’s knowledge-based economy.

The increased transatlantic schedule – as JetBlue adds a second daily flight to New York from 31 October – comes in time for the peak booking period ahead of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. Stephanie Wear, VP of aviation development, Gatwick Airport said: “We are delighted to be building back our popular connections to North America post the pandemic. It’s exciting to be able to offer passengers more choice once again, when travelling between Gatwick and the USA.

“We are already seeing huge demand for JetBlue’s Boston route which launched in August, while four daily options to New York speaks for itself. Both Orlando and Tampa are fantastic options for families, especially with Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations ongoing, and we hope to be welcoming more flights to US destinations very soon.”

Sky Crockford, Visit USA, said: “We are thrilled to see travel between the UK and USA bouncing back post covid. The USA has always been hugely popular with holiday makers and families from the UK. There is so much on offer to see and do for every type of vacationer.”

This means London Gatwick passengers will now have even more choice when heading stateside, whether to enjoy New York’s world-famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, sample the Black Friday sales, the city’s multitude of Christmas markets or legendary Rockefeller Centre ice rink – or treat the family to a once-in-a-lifetime festive trip to Disney World in Orlando.

JetBlue’s second daily New York flight complements its daily Boston service, while British Airways and Norse Atlantic also fly daily to the Big Apple. Passengers can also fly with BA to destinations including Orlando (11 times per week) and Tampa (five times per week).

Last month, Gatwick announced Delta Air Lines would be returning to the airport from next April, with daily flights to New York JFK. According to data from Visit the USA, more than 4.8million visits were made by Brits to the USA in 2019, with 5 million forecast for 2024. Meanwhile, data from Visit Britain shows 4.5 million Americans visited the UK in 2019.

The USA reopened its borders to fully vaccinated visitors on 8 November 2021, with research from Travelport showing that US-bound flights originating from the U.K. were searched more than US-bound flights from all other European countries, combined. Both Orlando and New York were among the most popular destinations, while New York and Florida remain in the top three most popular states for UK visitors.

The wildlife tourism market is projected to reach USD 219.9 Billion in 2032 and USD 135 Billion in 2022. Its projected to grow at robust 5% CAGR during 2022-2032. These insights are based on a report on Wildlife Tourism Market by Future Market Insights.

Tigers are an important part of many wildlife sanctuaries, and Ranthambore wildlife sanctuary and Kanha National Park in India are among the few places where tourists can see these animals up close. Many visitors are visiting these sanctuaries simply to see tigers, which is boosting global wildlife tourism.

Wildlife Tourism: Positive and Negative Impact

During the visit to wildlife destinations, tourists contribute to the improvement and conservation of the conditions of wild animals. Wildlife tourism also improves the life of the local tribes, as when tourism flourishes, they get opportunities of improved livelihood. Continuous flow of tourists keep the poachers away from killing endangered species of animals. When tourists visit wildlife sanctuaries certain amount of entrance fee is charged from them.

This money is directed towards animal conservation programmes. However, there are some negative impacts too. The disturbance is always high when tourists approach the wildlife very closely to take photos. Also, the breeding patterns of animals may also get disturbed due to constant pressure of tourists to take photographs of animals with their young ones.

Wildlife Tourism: Drivers

As the entry fee charged from tourists is invested in the conservation of animals, more and more tourists are willing to re-visit wildlife sanctuaries and are ready to pay extra as entry fees, just to ensure animal life conservation. In addition to merely watching animals, tourists are also aware of the various fauna and flora species, which attracts them to wildlife tourism, which is consequently driving the growth of the wildlife tourism sector.

Lot of infrastructural development in and nearby wildlife sanctuaries such as hotels, guest houses and eco-tourism villages and jungles are also attracting a large number of tourists. So now tourists not only visit national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to see animals but also for relaxation which they get by being away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Due to better infrastructural development movie shootings also take place in nearby areas which attract local travellers and this fuels the growth of wildlife tourism.

Many schools arrange trips in wildlife sanctuaries to introduce students to the flora and fauna in sanctuaries. Besides, wildlife photographers who keep visiting the sanctuaries also create robust development in the sector of wildlife tourism. Many wildlife sanctuaries are famous for tigers. Ranthambore wildlife sanctuary and Kanha National Park in India are among the few sanctuaries where tourists can get very close to tigers. Many tourists frequently visit these sanctuaries just to see tigers and this is boosting the global wildlife tourism sector.

Famous Wildlife Sanctuaries Across the World

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia, Chengdu Moonbear Rescue Centre in China, Noah’s Ark in Georgia, USA, Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, India are some of the famous wildlife sanctuaries across the globe.

With international travel expected to approach pre-pandemic levels this year, the results of a nationally representative Foreign Transaction Fee Survey gauging people’s opinions on various aspects of spending money abroad was released today on international travel.

Read on for an informational Q&A with Delaney Simchuk, WalletHub analyst, on this timely issue.

Do most people know if their credit cards have foreign transaction fees?

41% of people don’t know if their credit card has a foreign transaction fee. This is most common among people over the age of 45, perhaps because they tend to have higher incomes and can afford not to worry about an extra 3% being tacked onto anything they happen to buy from a foreign merchant. Most people do not have the luxury of ignoring foreign transaction fees, yet a lot of us still do. The good news is finding out whether your credit card has a foreign fee is as simple as logging into your online account and pulling up the card agreement.

Is it clear to people that a foreign fee can be applied without foreign travel?

Most people do not have a clear understanding of when credit card foreign transaction fees come into play, and that could end up being very costly. For example, 7 in 10 people don’t realize foreign fees can apply without foreign travel. People simply assume you have to be on foreign soil for a foreign transaction fee to be charged, but these fees can also apply to purchases that you make through merchants based abroad while you are in the comfort of your own home. Fortunately, there are lots of really good credit cards without foreign transaction fees that people can use to make purchases from international sellers.

How do consumers feel about credit cards that charge foreign transaction fees?

62% of people think foreign transaction fees are unfair, including 71% of women and 52% of men. All in all, 53% of people say they would never get a credit card that charges a foreign transaction fee. People who want to avoid foreign fees have plenty of good options, especially from the major credit card companies that don’t charge foreign fees on any of their cards, like Capital One. Swearing off foreign fees entirely isn’t necessarily the best approach, however, since you could miss out on a great card for your domestic spending.

Do people know that credit cards get them the best exchange rate when traveling abroad?

Roughly 79% of people don’t realize that using a credit card gets them the best exchange rate when traveling abroad. Credit cards can save you 7% or more compared to currency exchange kiosks in the airport or exchanging hard currency at a local bank. In addition to saving you money on every international transaction, a credit card with no foreign transaction fee does the conversion automatically when you buy something, making spending money internationally more convenient and safer. Losing your credit card abroad is a lot less harmful than losing a wad of cash.

What do people worry about the most when using their credit cards internationally?

People’s top concerns about international credit card use are card loss and theft, which got 35% of the vote, followed by currency exchange rates at 28% and credit card foreign transaction fees at 23%. Overspending was at the bottom of the list, with just 13% of the vote. We’ve seen a willingness among consumers to go into debt for a vacation, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that most people aren’t too concerned about overspending abroad. Still, overspending is likely to have the biggest, most long-lasting impact on people.

What advice do you have for people looking to avoid foreign transaction fees?

Foreign transaction fees are easy to avoid. All you have to do is compare credit cards with no foreign transaction fees, find an offer that suits your credit standing and spending habits, then apply online. There are hundreds of no-foreign-fee cards available, including options for all credit scores. Once you have the right card, avoiding foreign fees is simply a matter of using the card for any purchases that might be processed abroad.

When you fly, do you have a favorite aircraft? Do you hope upon hope that your next trip will place you in your most memorable passenger jet liner in the sky? Would you go so far as to pay a little more or schedule your flight just so you can get on an aircraft of choice?

What do experts think are the very best of the best throughout history? Let’s take a look and see what the professionals at Artemis Aerospace have to say.

BAC 1-11

Jim Scott – Co-founder and owner

An early jet liner produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), the BAC 1-11 was originally conceived by Hunting Aircraft as a 30-seat jet, before its merger with BAC in 1960. Following a British United Airways order in 1961, it eventually became an 80-seater design to compete with the early Boeing 737 variants that would be used by multiple carriers worldwide. After its first commercial flight in 1965, the aircraft was redesigned in 1967 to introduce a stretched 500 series. Jim remembers them fondly:

“It was the first civil aircraft I remember flying back in the early 70s and a stalwart of British Caledonian’s fleet out of Gatwick that serviced European destinations. In my case, it was the magic machine that took us to !

“The BAC 1-11 was something of a pocket rocket, with its pair of aft-mounted Rolls-Royce Spey engines. This added to the magic for me as a passenger, as there was always an incredible roar during take-off. It was also rather special for its over-wing facing seats and the ability to deploy a set of airstairs from below its tail. Naturally, these features were long before anyone thought of maximizing passenger numbers and minimizing weight for the sake of economics!”

BAe 146 Whisperjet

Deborah Scott – Co-founder and owner

Manufactured in the UK by British Aerospace (later BAE Systems), the BAe 146 was in production from 1983 until 2001 and can still be seen in service today. Designed as a short-haul and regional airliner, improved versions of the aircraft were launched in 1992 (Avro RJ) and 1997 (Avro RJX). However, only two prototypes and one production aircraft of the Avro RJX were ever produced before production ceased in 2001. One of the most successful British civil jet airliners produced, the Avro RJ/BAe 146 is a small, beautifully proportioned jet that Deborah considers was ahead of its time. She says:

“It was extremely quiet and agile, so it was ideal for built-up areas.”

“It could come in at very steep angles and land effortlessly on short city-center runways, such as London City Airport. For business travelers taking short journeys in the 1990s, the Whisperjet was luxurious compared to alternatives, such as the twin-engine turbo prop F27, which couldn’t fly above bad weather. Passengers on these aircraft would experience a lot of turbulence while flying over the Channel.

“The Whisperjet’s innovative design meant there were fewer components, thus keeping maintenance to a minimum. The QC (Quick Change) version had modular seats which can very easily be reconfigured for freight transportation. This meant it could fly passengers during the day and freight during the night – beauty and brains. What a fabulous aircraft!”

Airbus A380

Dan Frith – Flight Simulator Support Sales Director and Beth Wright – Sales Manager

One of the most recent additions to the skies, the magnificent A380 with its large wide-body, huge wingspan and four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 turbofans, is immediately identifiable when it flies overhead.

First delivered to Singapore Airlines in October 2007, it is the world’s largest passenger aircraft and can hold up to 853 passengers – hence its nickname, Superjumbo. At its peak, as many as 30 aircraft a year were being produced. In 2021, Airbus announced its production would end. However, this full-length double-decker aircraft has remained a firm favorite among aircraft enthusiasts.

With two votes from the team, the majesty of this aircraft certainly hasn’t been lost on the passengers of today.

Dan was at Farnborough Air Show in 2006 to see its public debut and has loved the experience of flying A380 ever since. He said:

“The first time I got to fly on the A380 was during a trip to Singapore. I was in the economy cabin, which is extremely spacious and comfortable. It’s also the quietest aircraft I have ever travelled on, which seems bizarre considering it’s also the biggest!”

Beth, who is former British Airways cabin crew, has travelled on them for work and leisure. She has fond memories of both:

“I have always loved flying on the A380. For such a large aircraft, it’s incredibly comfortable and absorbs a lot of turbulence – so much so that I could hardly feel the sudden incline of a go-around during an approach into LAX. Passengers were always thrilled to have a tour of it – they were particularly fascinated by the staircases at the forward and rear sections. Such is the size of the aircraft, that during take-off, I often remember feeling we would surely run out of runway by the time we took off!”

Boeing 747SP

Andre Viljoen – Global Logistics Manager

A shortened version of the Boeing 747, the 747SP was designed to compete with McDonnell Douglas’s DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar.

Part of Pan Am’s iconic fleet until the airline ceased operating in 1991, the 747SP was borne out of a request by the company to create a 747 variant that could carry a full payload, non-stop on its longest route at that time between New York and Tehran. The company took delivery of the first aircraft, Clipper Freedom, in 1976.

Originally, the aircraft was designated the name 747SB for ‘short body’, but later became SP for ‘special performance’ – a nod to the aircraft’s greater range and higher cruising speed.

Andre, a former South African Airways pilot, explains why it is his favorite civil aircraft of all time:

“I first flew on a 747SP in 1979 (JNB-LHR) when it was a relatively new addition to the SAA fleet. It was ideal for the requirements at that time, which demanded a high-performance, long-range aircraft. Cruising at Mach 0.86, it could get to its ceiling of 45,000 feet faster and stay there longer than any of its counterparts. This made it more fuel efficient and helped increase its range by 1200NM.

“It was an absolute joy to fly and had the benefit of a flight engineer – something technology has now consigned to history.

“In the end, Boeing only ever produced 45 airframes, but its wing design and engineering heralded the production of later aircraft, such as the SUD 300 and 747-400.

“In 1996, my journey came full circle when I was part of a crew that flew an SAA SP from JNB to the old Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong. After a long dark night over the Indian Ocean, flying the checkerboard approach onto runway 13 really did help focus the mind and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!”

So what is the most memorable aircraft you have flown on? Add you answer to the comments down below.

When the begin, SJC will become ZIPAIR’s third US destination and its first in the Bay Area.

“ZIPAIR’s announcement reflects renewed global confidence in the strength of the San José market and the continued importance of Silicon Valley,” said San José Mayor Sam Liccardo. “We’re thrilled to welcome ZIPAIR and its unique, low-cost service, which complements the international service we continue to attract to SJC.”

“We are delighted by today’s announcement that ZIPAIR plans to join the Mineta San José International Airport family later this year,” said SJC Director of Aviation John Aitken. “ZIPAIR represents a new kind of airline that leverages technology to provide an efficient, more accessible travel experience—a perfect fit for San José and Silicon Valley. We look forward to working with the ZIPAIR team as plans develop for this new nonstop service between SJC and Tokyo-Narita.”

ZIPAIR, a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Air Lines (JAL), offers passengers a fully customizable travel experience. The airline operates a modern fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft, with 18 full-flat seats and 272 standard seats.

“We are pleased to announce the launch of our new service to Mineta San José International Airport in December 2022. With the convenient nonstop flight between Tokyo Narita and Northern California, we certainly look forward to welcoming more visitors to travel between the U.S. and Asia,” said Shingo Nishida, President of ZIPAIR Tokyo. He added, “Earlier in May of this year, we were saddened to learn of the passing of former U.S. Cabinet member and mayor of the City of San José, Norman Y. Mineta. We sincerely appreciated his dedication for restoring confidence in air travel during the early 2000s.”

Details of the new San José flights are still being developed, and the new route remains subject to government approval. SJC and ZIPAIR will share additional information regarding the new service as it becomes available.

Carnival Luminosa to transfer to Carnival Cruise Line fleet

Costa Luminosa cruise ship will join the Carnival fleet in September and will start guest operations as Carnival Luminosa in November 2022 from Brisbane, Australia, Carnival Cruise Line announced today.

The acquisition of Luminosa is an update to the previously announced plans for Carnival to take Costa Magica, which will now remain at Costa Cruises.

After this delivery, Carnival Luminosa will operate seasonally from October through April from Brisbane, then reposition to Seattle, where it will sail itineraries from May through September, before returning to Brisbane.

Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other popular Spirit class ships that already sail for Carnival.  Entering service in 2009, the ship accommodates up to 2,826 guests and 1,050 crew at 92,720 gross tons.

“With our full fleet back to guest operations and the pent-up demand for Carnival we are seeing every week aboard our ships, the chance to expand with Luminosa and then the arrival of Carnival Celebration in November provides our guests with more choices and new ways to enjoy a Carnival vacation,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Our Spirit class ships are very popular with our guests and Luminosa will be a great addition given the large number of balcony cabins which make her an ideal ship for this deployment.  And equally important, this will allow Carnival to finally start our highly anticipated itineraries from Brisbane, so we’ll have two ships operating in Australia for the high season Down Under.”

Given the short timeline to get Carnival Luminosa ready for service, the ship will go through some modest updates to change over from Costa to Carnival over the next few months ahead of the November service start-up. The ship will not initially have all of the Funship 2.0 branded spaces that are seen across the Carnival fleet. The entire vessel will be staffed by the Carnival Cruise Line crew, renowned for their outstanding hospitality and fun. Cruises out of Brisbane will be announced shortly, and Carnival will sail a variety of itineraries that will initially include visits to Australian favorites such as the Great Barrier Reef and Airlie Beach, and, as destinations open over time, ports of call such as Noumea and Lifou Isle in New Caledonia, Port Vila and Mystery Island in Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Fiji.

Duffy said, “The opportunity to deliver these bucket list itineraries will be exciting for our guests and we are thrilled to see the growing number of guests from the U.S. sailing on Carnival in Australia.”

In addition to Carnival Luminosa out of Brisbane, Carnival Splendor will arrive in Sydney to resume sailing year-round on October 2, 2022.  With the arrival of Carnival Celebration this November, Carnival’s fleet will number 24 ships, and its lower berth capacity will be seven percent higher than at the end of November 2019.

Related to this announcement, the cruise programs for Costa Luminosa from September forward will be cancelled and Costa will be informing guests with a specific re-protection plan.  Costa Magica will continue to be a part of the Costa fleet and its cruise programs will be announced shortly.

According to preliminary visitor statistics released by the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), a total of 818,268 visitors came to the Hawaiian Islands in April 2022, representing a 96.3 percent recovery from April 2019 and the highest recovery rate since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hawai‘i.

Visitors spent $1.6 billion in the islands in April, an increase of 21 percent compared to the $1.32 billion reported for April 2019.

Visitor Spending and Visitor Arrivals by Major Market

Of the total visitors, 809,612 arrived by air service, mainly from the U.S. West and U.S. East. Additionally, 8,656 visitors arrived by cruise ships. In comparison, 849,397 visitors (-3.7%) arrived by air and by cruise ships in April 2019. The average length of stay by all visitors in April 2022 was 8.68 days, up from 8.25 days (+5.2%) in April 2019.

The statewide average daily census1 was 236,835 visitors in April 2022 compared to 233,616 visitors (+1.4%) in April 2019.

In April 2022, 514,878 visitors arrived by air from the U.S. West, an increase of 32.5 percent compared to 388,573 visitors in April 2019. U.S. West visitors spent $940.9 million in April 2022, up 72 percent from $547 million in April 2019. Daily spending by U.S. West visitors in April 2022 ($223 per person) was much higher compared to April 2019 ($171 per person, +30.4%).

There were 188,868 visitors from the U.S. East in April 2022, an 18.7 percent growth compared to 159,115 visitors in April 2019. U.S. East visitors spent $422.9 million in April 2022, up 47.5 percent from $286.8 million in April 2019.

(-11.3%) in April 2019. Daily spending by Canadian visitors in April 2022 ($182 per person) increased compared to April 2019 ($154 per person, +18.1%).

There were 56,010 visitors from all other international markets in April 2022. These visitors were from Oceania, Europe, Other Asia, Latin America, Guam, the Philippines, and the Pacific Islands. In comparison, there were 100,686 visitors (-44.4%) from All Other International Markets in April 2019.

In April 2022, a total of 5,171 trans-Pacific flights with 1,085,948 seats serviced the Hawaiian Islands, compared to 5,031 flights with 1,112,200 seats in April 2019.

Through the first four months of 2022, total visitor spending was $5.83 billion, up slightly (+0.3%) from $5.81 billion in the first four months of 2019. A total of 2,812,030 visitors arrived in the first four months of 2022 which was a decrease compared to the first four months of 2019 at 3,376,675 visitors (-16.7%).

Statement by DBEDT Director Mike McCartney:

The month of April brought the highest recovery rate of visitor spending and arrivals since February 2020. It was also the 12th consecutive month in which visitor arrivals from the continental U.S. surpassed the same month’s level in 2019. Daily spending by U.S. visitors increased by 24.5 percent, which supported our communities, businesses, and state tax revenues.

In the next few months, we anticipate and are planning for the return of Japanese visitors. The increase of tour groups from Japan will allow us to continue our pivot towards educating all visitors about Hawai‘i’s culture and managing our state’s resources so they can continue to remain healthy.

Factors playing into travelers’ decisions on where to visit include competition from other destinations worldwide, inflation and currency exchange challenges, fuel prices, labor and supply chain issues, and competitive service and quality levels. To stay relevant and keep Hawai‘i top of mind, it is vital to mālama our home so that it is a place where we want to live and others want to visit.

Continuing to remain vigilant by protecting ourselves and our communities from COVID as the case counts continue to rise is paramount. If we work towards a regenerative (next level of sustainability) stewardship (having the privilege of taking care of Hawai‘i) model, together we can achieve healthy and vibrant communities, businesses, and industries that support an enviable living in Hawai‘i.

Statement by HTA President and CEO John De Fries:

Several international destinations across the globe remained inaccessible to U.S. travelers in the month of April, and Hawai‘i continued to be a preferred destination for many of those travelers from the U.S. West and U.S. East markets. As we move into the summer months, we are anticipating a more robust recovery of our international markets, especially Japan.

HTA continues to work directly with communities across Hawaiʻi to implement the Destination Management Action Plans, and with our industry partners to reach visitors with educational messages before and after they arrive.

As tourism’s recovery continues to fuel our local economy, HTA is guided by the overarching principle of Mālama Ku‘u Home – to care for our beloved home.

Remember, the cultural value of mālama signifies our kamaʻāina way of life, and a community-wide call to action that will enhance the quality of living in Hawai’i for generations to come.

The entire fleet welcomes guests onboard with country-intensive itineraries, immersive land programs, and more overnights in each port, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in each destination fully.

“I am beyond thankful to our hard-working team and dedicated crew members for all the incredible work and effort that has brought us to this exciting moment,” says Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara. “Thanks to them,  our four-ship fleet are all sailing for the first time ever, allowing us even more opportunities to immerse our guests in the smaller ports and hidden gem destinations of the world.”

As its fleet returns to service, Azamara continues to reinforce its commitment to Destination Immersion® experiences – the independent cruise line will visit 362 unique ports around the world, with 392 overnight stays, 862 late nights, and over 3,000 shore excursions, nearly 1,000 of which have been created since the pandemic began.

Guests sailing on Azamara Onward can experience the new and exclusive specialty venue, Atlas Bar, offering innovative artisanal cocktails including the Grand Bazaar, London Fog Martini, and the Tuscany Delight.

Azamara Onward embarked on an 11-Night Maiden Voyage throughout the Mediterranean following the ceremony, departing from Monte Carlo and concluding with an overnight stay in Ravenna, Italy.

FAA finds Hawaii Airline Unsafe

FAA

Transair and Transair Express is Hawaii-based and operates between the Hawaiian islands.

Freight, cargo, or passengers, all airlines should be safe. A cargo plane crashing on a populated area is not only killing the pilots but also the people on the ground.

Specifically in the United States, air safety is something the country wants to lead the world. In the US State of Hawaii Rhoades Aviation may be closed down by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed to revoke the air carrier certificate of Honolulu-based Rhoades Aviation Inc. for numerous alleged safety violations.

The FAA alleges that Rhoades:

  • Failed to maintain Safety Management System records; address issues the FAA found with its general operations manual; conduct proper safety risk management when addressing discrepancies in its aircraft loading, weight and balance, and runway analysis manuals; provide revised manuals to the FAA; provide safety-risk-management documentation when it submitted its administration manual.
  • Operated two Boeing 737s more than 900 times after failing to add the aircraft to its maintenance and inspection program.
  • Operated a Boeing 737 airplane on 33 flights when it was not airworthy due to engine compressor fan blades that did not meet manufacturer standards.
  • Committed numerous violations related to its FAA-required Safety Management System program, including failing to ensure that the program was properly implemented and performing in all areas of its organization.
  • Conducted improper maintenance work on engine compressor fan blades and failed to properly document the work.

Operating since 1982, the combined Transair and Transair Express all-cargo fleet of five Boeing 737 and five Bombardier SD3-60-300 aircraft fly daily to all major Hawaiian island destinations of Kauai, Maui, Kona, and Hilo with extended service to Lanai and Molokai. In addition, cargo charters are available to all points within the state of Hawaii.

Nearly all applicants of US visas will have to provide information on their use of social media under the new rules adopted to enhance vetting of foreign nationals and to screen out terrorists and other dangerous individuals seeking entry into the US.

The State Department has now adopted a new policy under which most visa applicants, including temporary visitors, will be required to list their social media identifiers in a drop down menu along with other personal information.

Applicants will have the option to say that they do not use social media if that is the case. If a visa applicant lies about social media use, they could face “serious immigration consequences” as a result, a US Department of State official said. For now, the dropdown menu only includes major social media websites, but the applicants soon will be able to list all sites that they use.

The social media identifiers will be incorporated into a background check review against watchlists generated by the US government. Applicants will also be required in the future to turn more extensive information on their travel history.

Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, Spain

British Summer Time is not just the period where the UK moves the clock forward one hour, nor is it just a reference to the country’s hottest season – no, it is the time when Brits go on holiday. Living in a country blessed with far less sunshine than our neighbours and allies, holidays are something we take very seriously.

So when a company says it has discovered which is the UK’s favourite holiday hotspot, my ears prick up. British based peer-to-peer currency exchange platform WeSwap has – in honour of America’s historical decision to leave the imperial yolk of the British Empire at this time of the year – pit the perennial favourites of UK tourists against each other in a contest to decide which is the nation’s number one destination choice.

Using data from across its currency exchange app WeSwap was able to compile figures showing where and when UK holiday makers prefer to travel throughout the year.

Skyline of Midtown Manhattam New York City, USA

Somewhat surprisingly , the company discovered that United States was the top contender during, autumn, winter and spring – with November the most popular time to visit.  But, to no surprise at all, it was all revealed that Spain was the clear winner during summer.

The top five destinations, according to WeSwap card usage, is completed by France, Italy and Ireland respectively.

Other revelations include the observation that Brits like to visit Australia most in January – no doubt in search of the warming vibes of Aussie sun in lieu of rain, sleet and snow slush; France in August and February, to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Finally, April is the peak time for Japanese visits and a chance to catch the bloom of Japan’s iconic sakura.

Robo Bar

Watch out, bartenders! There’s a new sheriff in town and it’s stirring, straining, and shaking up a storm. Although, you could say it’s a bit robotic.

Mississippi, USA – Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi introduces Robo Bar, a cutting-edge robotic bar system created by Italian tech company MAKR SHAKR. The group aims to empower people with new robotic interactions and they’re bringing A.I. to the hospitality trade.

Robo Bar has two robotic arms that can make up to 120 drinks per hour. It knows billions of drink combinations and offers 140 different ingredients to choose from.

Its robotic arms mimic the actions of a real bartender. Similarly, it can shake a cocktail, slice a lemon, and serve a great Cuba Libre. And if you’re wondering where it got its moves from – all of its movements were modelled on the gestures of renowned Italian dancer and choreographer Marco Pelle from the New York Theatre Ballet.

These moves were created to give full entertainment to its guests. They can watch the robot muddle, stir, strain, and serve drinks in a highly social, exciting and interactive environment.

So, how does it take orders?

Well, pre-set tablets with a customized app are given to its guests. It displays on four-inch LED screens all orders in queue, the ingredients being added, and real-time infographics.

Watch the video below to see exactly how it works:

“Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi strives to provide cutting-edge experiences within our gaming, dining, entertainment and nightlife offerings”, said Todd Raziano, general manager of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi. “When technological advances create compelling, cutting-edge customer experiences, we feel the need to offer this one-of-a-kind experience to our guests. There is nothing ordinary about a visit to Hard Rock Biloxi. And there is certainly nothing ordinary about Robo Bar.”

The Robo Bar Biloxi is the first robotic bar in the Gulf Coast. Only one other robotic bar is in operation in the country and it’s located at the Las Vegas Strip.

Mike Barlow, senior vice president of operations for Twin River Management Group, the ownership group for Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, discovered this technology in 2017 and worked right away with MAKR SHAKR on how to bring this new concept to Hard Rock Biloxi.

“When we saw this in action in Vegas, we knew instantly this would be something our Biloxi patrons would enjoy,” said Barlow. “We want our guests to experience things at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi that they can’t find anywhere else on the Gulf Coast – or anywhere on the eastern half of the United States for that matter! We pride ourselves on delivering superior, revolutionary products time and time again for all of our hotel and casino properties throughout the US and Robo Bar will surely be one of our most exciting venues yet.”

If you want to experience Robo Bar, you’ll find it just outside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, near the main lobby overlooking the pool and the Mississippi Sound.

New York USA

New York USA

According to data from STR, the U.S. hotel industry has broken records with high-performance levels in 2017. 

Founded in 1985, STR provides multiple market sectors with premium global data benchmarking, analytics and marketplace insights. It maintains a presence in 15 countries with a corporate North American headquarters in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and an international headquarters in London, England.

The data shown below were compiled by STR and it’s proof that the hotel industry will have a great year ahead.

2016 vs 2017

  • Occupancy: +0.9% to 65.9%
  • Average daily rate (ADR): +2.1% to US$126.72
  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR): +3.0% to US$83.57

The absolute values in those three key performance metrics were each the highest STR has ever benchmarked. The U.S. hotel industry also set records for supply and demand. Based on percentage growth for the year, demand (+2.7%) significantly outpaced supply (+1.8%), even though the supply growth figure was the largest for the industry since 2009.

“The industry outperformed projections and reached record-breaking levels across the metrics in 2017,” said Amanda Hite, STR’s president and CEO.

Late-year demand growth, which was no doubt boosted by post-hurricane business in Houston and several major Florida markets, pushed well past a healthy influx of new rooms entering the marketplace. That allowed the industry to end the year well above forecasted levels after seeing more modest rates of growth through the first half of 2017.

Given the tax cut and the stronger GDP growth that is expected, U.S. hotels are in a solid position moving through 2018. Construction activity is on the decline for the first time since 2011, so even as demand growth subsides, the effects on occupancy and rates should be more manageable for hoteliers.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Houston, Texas, reported the year’s largest spike in RevPAR (+10.5% to US$71.97), due primarily to the largest increase in occupancy (+7.1% to 66.7%). The market’s performance was lifted late in the year as the effects of Hurricane Harvey filled hotels with displaced residents, relief workers, insurance adjusters and other hurricane-related demand.

Nashville, Tennessee, posted the largest rise in ADR (+6.2% to US$142.82) despite a supply-growth-related decline in occupancy (-0.8% to 74.1%).

Orlando, Florida, reported the only other double-digit jump in RevPAR (+10.0% to US$96.40), due to the second-highest increases in occupancy (+4.9% to 79.3%) and ADR (4.8% to US$121.53).

Overall, 18 of the Top 25 Markets recorded year-over-year RevPAR growth in 2017.

With healthy supply growth ahead of its Super Bowl host year, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota-Wisconsin, reported the steepest declines in ADR (-2.1% to US$115.89) and RevPAR (-3.6% to US$77.59).

Also affected by supply growth, Dallas, Texas, experienced the largest drop in occupancy (-2.5% to 69.6%).

In absolute values, New York, New York, recorded the highest levels in occupancy (86.7%), ADR (US$255.54) and RevPAR (US$221.60).

Q4 2017

During the fourth quarter of 2017, U.S. hotel occupancy rose 1.8% to 61.7%, ADR was up 2.4% to US$125.34 and RevPAR increased 4.2% to US$77.34.

Among the Top 25 Markets, Houston experienced the largest increases in all three key performance metrics: occupancy (+26.8% to 72.5%), ADR (+11.1% to US$110.06) and RevPAR (+40.9% to US$79.82).

Miami/Hialeah, Florida, posted the quarter’s second-largest rise in each of the three metrics: occupancy (+9.0% to 77.0%), ADR (+6.6% to US$197.82) and RevPAR (+16.3% to US$152.42).

Minneapolis/St. Paul reported the largest decline in RevPAR (-4.3% to US$69.93), due primarily to the largest drop in ADR (-4.0% to US$114.01).

San Francisco/San Mateo, California, experienced the largest decrease in occupancy (-2.9% to 77.8%).

Planning to go on a dream vacation this 2018? Celebrate the year in style by going to these awe-inspiring hotel destinations.

I write about the best hotels for a living and I’d love to help you pick the perfect getaway spot (for yourself or your clients) in 2018. So, if you’re ready to go and live the dream, I’ve listed down some of my favourite hotels opening this year.

Montage Los Cabos, Mexico

Set to open in May 2018, this seaside resort is located on the shores of Santa Marina Bay in Los Cabos – one of the few swimmable beaches in the area.

It will offer its guests walk-in access to snorkelling and diving at Santa Marina Bay, wellness programs and treatments at the signature Spa Montage, as well as fitness offerings including tennis and recreational lawn facilities.

The resort is designed with native desert materials and provides indoor and outdoor spaces. It’s a luxury resort with a stunning natural backdrop – another superb addition to the stunning Mexican coastline.

AYANA Komodo Resort, Indonesia

The first and only 5-star resort on Flores Island’s Waecicu Beach, AYANA Komodo Resort is expected to open in the summer of 2018.

This hideaway is comprised of 12 suites and 189 premium guest rooms. Contemporary rooms feature stunning ocean views with large windows to capture the tropical details of its surroundings.

In this hotel resort, you’ll be immersed in a diverse array of landscapes. It’s located in one of the most rugged but picturesque islands of the Indonesian Archipelago.

Pod Times Square, USA

This trendy boutique hotel is one of the coolest hotels in the New York City. It’s a cozy space to rest your bones in the city that never sleeps.

Each room at the Pod Times Square has climate control, dimming lights, its own bathroom that features rainfall showers, and oversized sound-proof windows to provide uninterrupted views of the city. They call their rooms ‘pods’ because they’re compact spaces that maximize efficiency by taking away the excess.

The Pod Times Square promises to open soon and we can’t wait.

Baglioni Resort Maldives

Perched peacefully on the Indian Ocean, Baglioni Resort Maldives is a dreamy hotel resort on the remote island of Maagau in Dhaalu, a 40-minute seaplane ride from the capital, Malé.

It’s brimming with tropical beauty and offers not only scenic views, but a blend of sport, relaxation, and gourmet dining for its exclusive international clientele.

This paradise is set to open in the summer of 2018.

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island

A castaway paradise with a population of about 100, this resort is the only establishment on the captivating Desroches Island.

Visitors will surely enjoy the unrivalled privacy and absolute freedom in this hotel, situated in a remote location, secluded from the world. It’s a pristine tropical sanctuary edged by 14 kilometres of soft white beaches.

The new resort will offer a mix of bungalows, suites, and multi-bedroom residences – all with a chic castaway vibe. Expect the Four Seasons Seychelles to open early this year.

The post How Gianni Versace’s mansion became a luxury hotel appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Brand TD.

Florida, USA – Gianni Versace’s former home is now a luxury boutique hotel in South Beach, Miami. 

Gianni Versace, one of the most iconic fashion designers of all-time, once lived in a lavish mansion in Ocean Drive. It’s a premier property in South Beach – a picture-perfect town known for its vigorous beach vibe, Art Deco buildings, trendy nightspots, and celebrity-chef eateries.

But two decades after the revered designer’s death, the ultra-plush home is now a luxury boutique hotel called The Villa Casa Casuarina.

Follow the timeline below on how Versace’s former property has evolved.

1930   

Alcázar de Colón
Alcázar de Colón

The mansion was built in 1930 by Alden Freeman, a young architect, and heir to the Standard Oil fortune. He retired at the age of 27 and followed his passion to travel the world.

On one of his many trips, he came upon Alcázar de Colón in the Dominican Republic. It’s a 16th-century palace that served as the centre of the Spanish court for more than 60 years. He was so inspired by the structure that he decided to build himself a mansion that would pay tribute to its sheer magnificence.

But after seven years, Alden Freeman died and the house was sold to Jacque Amsterdam for USD$ 100,000. Amsterdam continued to run the house as an apartment complex and named it Amsterdam Palace.

In the years to come, the apartment complex passed through the hands of several owners and hundreds of tenants. And for a short time in the 1980’s, the property was called Christopher Columbus Apartments.

1992   

While on vacation, Gianni Versace was walking down Ocean Drive and was immediately fascinated by the mansion. His love for Spanish architecture and obsession with Greek and Roman mythology led him to purchase the property for USD$ 2.95 million.

He later invested USD$ 32 mn more in renovations in which he added the south wing, the pool, multiple gardens, and converted the 24 apartments into 10 large suites.

1997  

Versace Frontpage News

On the 15th of July 1997, Gianni Versace was shot and killed at the age of 50 on the steps of his mansion as he returned from a morning walk on Ocean Drive. Usually, Versace would have an assistant during his walks to get his morning papers, but on this fateful day, he decided to go by himself.

He was murdered by spree killer Andrew Cunanan, who used the same gun to commit suicide on a houseboat eight days later. Versace was Cunanan’s fifth and final victim.

2013

A court-ordered bankruptcy sale resulted in a high-profile auction of the estate in 2013. It was a private bidding, which started at USD$ 25 mn and was raised in USD$ 500,000 increments.

Among the top bidders were Donald Trump, who sent his son Eric to bid on the property on his behalf, and New York’s Nakash and Gindi families, who happens to own Hotel Victor next door.

Trump and Victor Hotels Management, a group that specializes in operating boutique hotels in South Beach, were left to battle for the renowned estate. The latter won the auction and purchased the property for USD$ 42.5 mn.

At a news conference later, the group announced that it wants to operate a boutique hotel using the world-famous Versace name.

2017

The mansion, now known as The Villa Casa Casuarina, offers a variety of luxurious suites.

The Azure Suite, The Aviary Suite, The Medalion Suite, The Garden Suite, The Signature Suite, The Venus Suite where his sister Donatella Versace stayed, and above all, The Villa Suite, which is the master bedroom where the late fashion designer used to stay.

Each of these suites has custom double king-sized beds, Italian marble bathrooms with gold fixtures and two shower heads, large closets, and its own separate living rooms and patios. You’ll also find his favourite art pieces inside the residence, which Versace commissioned for the property.

Outside the residence, you’ll find a 54-foot long pool lined with more than a million mosaic tiles, many of them in 24-karat gold. The pool showcases the largest image of Versace’s Medusa logo and is surrounded by hand-painted murals and ornate statues.

There’s also a restaurant called Gianni’s at the Villa, where they offer the finest Italian and Mediterranean cuisine by Chef Thomas Stewart. Reservations are required for dinner, but guests can walk into the bar for some drinks.

See the gallery below for photos of their exclusive suites.

Chris Thomson, CEO and President of Brand USA said that by the time all reps are appointed, 93% of the generating market for the USA will be covered.

Sartha will work towards increasing arrivals from India to the USA and also work closely with US partners.

The USA has been keen to ease the visa procedures in India and wants tourism to play an important role in cultural, economic and social areas.
