December 2013/January 2014

The end of a year is always a good time to sum up the past year, reflect on our achievements, and plan the future. We count days that we spent on planes, calculate points collected in various loyalty programmes, recall best hotels that we stayed in both on business trips and holiday, as well as evaluate the airlines that we travelled with. We make plans for our future trips, putting on the list not only the places that we need to visit on business, but also our dream destinations, such as French Polynesia, Alaska, Burma, or … Easter Island!

Wishing you every success, both in personal and professional life, I would like to encourage you to travel even more in 2014. I hope that the articles published in this issue will encourage you to visit Paris – the unquestionable capital of fashion, style and business, and the city where you will find whatever you are looking for. Another country that we feature this month is the South Korea, which has gone from aid recipient to donor in a mere 50 years – an achievement spearheaded by the economic steam engine at its heart.

The story of its capital, Seoul, is one of survival, tenacity and unprecedented success. Finally, in this issue we also write about the legendary Las Vegas, the heavenly beaches of the Maldives and about the Chinese city of Xian which although known primarily for its Terracotta Army, it has a lot to offer – both for tourists and businesspeople.

Happy New Year, and enjoy your reading!
