EDITOR’S NOTE

Another year, another spectacular Awards season 2019 seat the scene for fierce competition, as leading luxury hospitality brands vied for the ultimate honor in overall excellence. The season has been wrapped and we are on our way to Kuala Lumpur to meet the best of the best in the industry and celebrate outstanding achievements. Winston Churchill once said, “success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts”. There has never been this level of competition in the hotel, spa and restaurant industries and there has never been a better time for globetrotters to differentiate between good and mediocre, this is important when making travel decisions, thus we invite you to browse this month’s issue to take a look at some of our outstanding members that have consistently proved that they have what it takes to “raise the bar”. We’d love to inspire you to travel more.
