The August issue of Destinations of the World is all about innovators and entrepreneurs – the men and women whose ability to see the big picture allows them to create neighbourhoods, skyscrapers, luxury resorts or intricate meals that change the way we think and act, not just as travellers, but as citizens of the world. We start in Miami, where a surge of new development has filled the sky with cranes, transforming old neighbourhoods into new communities. We focus on two major developments – Faena Miami Beach and Miami Design District; two elaborate projects that hope to breathe new life into entire neighbourhoods. In Montenegro, Amanresorts’ Sveti Stefan and the new Regent Porto Montenegro are the cornerstones of the country’s nascent luxury tourism scene, and in Istanbul, we explore the city’s rich history of jazz, which was brought to the city by pioneering individuals in the first half of the 20th century. We talk to visionary resort designer Jean Michel Gathy.
