TRAVEL With Valerie Miller DESTINATION: Hyatt Hotels Corp. As the desire to travel and explore continues to heat up, Hyatt is sharing tips to help travelers satisfy their wanderlust this summer, from can’t-miss special offers and well-being-focused experiences, to planning a long-awaited family reunion. This summer, consider adventuring off the beaten path to “second cities,” or lesser-traveled destinations. With fewer crowds, these types of destinations allow for easy exploration and immersing yourself in the culture for an authentic, local experience. Hyatt hotels that have recently opened in these must-see destinations include: Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis (Tennessee): Opened in April and situated on the corner of famed Beale and Front Streets, Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis (pictured at left) is the area’s newest social hub for travelers seeking a home base in the heart of the action within the entertainment district and beyond.
