Unfortunately, we still produce much more things that nobody really needs. But thanks to increasingly sophisticated marketing concepts, people still fall for all kinds fantastic presentations. However, symbols, status and sumptuousness are outdated. At least mid-term. The good old values are back in favour! And because of this natural renewal such ideas and businesses will be favoured that do not change their ways and simply do what they have been doing all along: Quality! The only difference is that you can feel that the wind has changed Customers once again want origin, passion, usefulness and function. Which is also why customers want to read about real stories. Even if those are suddenly read on the iPad. It must be a good story. One thing remained the same: it must be about real messages. Because we want to know what we need and what we can do without in the future. We want to know why things work as they do, to understand why they are unique for us. Knowledge makes life more conscious! And consciousness is the competitive edge in this world, those who look for real values! Be inspired with TrĂŠsor as well. Enjoy, Christof KĂźng Editor-in-Chief christof.kueng@premium-publishing.com

TrÊsor visited the Maldives! One of these rare islands, that seemingly does everything right! Far away from home, but in the middle of paradise! And really – it does exist! The perfect place. It is called the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa! The Journey After arrival at Male International Airport, everything works out perfectly. Without any complication, you walk to the terminal for domestic flights. The new lounge offers all the comfort and culinary delights you may wish for. Check-in works nicely. After some 55 minutes of domestic flight you land at Kadhdhoo Airport on the North Huvadhu Atoll. From there, you take the speedboat to Hadahaa. Admittedly, it is a long journey! This is why you should make use of the nearby KOODDOO Airport, if possible at all. Because from Koddoo it takes a mere 20 minutes by speedboat. This shortcut is worth it, because the northern atolls can be reached much more easily this way. In any case, as a guest you still feel that you have arrived in paradise.

The Last Paradise The beach on Hadahaa is not really any whiter than those others at the Maldives. However, you notice at once that no artificial boundaries have been installed at the Park Hyatt Maldives. This shows that the current is natural around the island. If that would have been changed during construction, parts of the sandy beaches would be subjected to erosion. Only sandbags or other boundaries could prevent this, but of course this would also be visible and not exactly fit into the Maldives. One remarkable fact is that the coral belt around Hadahaa is still intact and therefore erosion cannot cause any damage to the island. This is the best guarantee that the island can protect itself from changes in the water level. Healthy corals grow up and down with the water level, creating a natural protection for the island. A natural balance!

Stylish up to the Last Detail The Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa is a place of good taste. However, this unique hotel manages not to be uptight about it. Neither the clear-cut architecture nor the attentive staff give the impression you cannot relax here. The art of combining first-class design and good taste with the highest degree of relaxation has been achieved in an exemplary way. The hotel disposes of a number of restaurants. In the regular restaurant, international dishes are served with a personalized service all day long. “The Island Grill” serves regionally inspired specialties. “The Bar” at the pool offers drinks and cigars in a cultivated atmosphere. Extraordinary events can be experienced in the restaurants, at the beach, at the jetty or on the rooftop terrace. All event locations benefit from natural daylight. And of course there is professional assistance available, should you plan an event on site.

Relaxation, Diving and Fitness In addition to the modern gym, the diving centre is another hotspot for the active holidaymaker. The house reef is truly remarkable, because you can find well-preserved corals as well as many species of fish. The Gaafu Atoll is one of the deepest atolls of the Maldives, and therefore offers a few interesting diving spots. The PADI five-star diving centre offers introductory diving lessons, but also courses for experienced divers, diving with special equipment, open water diving, adventure diving and rescue diving. The untouched coral reefs surrounding the island at some 30 metres distance from the beach are home to approx. 140 different species of corals and many fish, among them sharks and mantas. It is also home to a number of endangered species, both fish and corals. Different trips are on offer at the leisure centre; guests can visit neighbouring atolls or the equator, watch dolphins, go on guided diving tours, go fishing with a traditional dhoni or enjoy the sunset on board of a luxury yacht.

Edelweiss Air After presenting the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, we would like to recommend a partner, who convinces with its performance. We are talking about Edelweiss Air, because the service is without competition. It is undisputed that Edelweiss Air is a top-class product in the leisure travel field. 2010, Switzerland celebrated an anniversary: 100 years of aviation. It was in 1910 when aviation pioneers initiated the exemplary development of aviation with their bravery and entrepreneurship in Switzerland. Today flying is a common thing. However, I continue to be impressed every time after take-off. The ease, with which such a big machine reliably lifts 230 tons into the air, is kind of impressive. As opposed to old times, when the staff was busy with the technical aspects of flying, today Edelweiss focuses on making the flight as agreeable and comfortable as possible for the passenger. Both above the clouds and on ground, this airline is a competent and reliable partner. As the leading Swiss holiday airline, Edelweiss Air carries passengers to the most popular destinations worldwide. At the same time Edelweiss focuses on the high quality of its services – and has been awarded for this multiple times.

Dhoni is how the typical boats on the Maldives are called. It is the most important asset for a fisherman. It is all he has. Because without a boat, a fisherman cannot work. The Dhoni has a similar function for the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa.

The Backgrounder Journey Admittedly, traveling to the Maldives is a long journey. However, going to Hadahaa is a bit easier now, thanks to Kooddoo. From this new airfield, the speed boat takes you to the paradise in about 20 minutes. Location Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa is an exclusive, luxury hideaway set on a tropical island in the North Huvadhoo (Gaafu Alifu) Atoll, 400 kilometres south of Malé, 56 kilometres north of the Equator. Guests are taken on a short 45-minute domestic flight from Malé International Airport to Kooddoo, followed by an enjoyable 20-minute speedboat ride to reach the resort. Additionally the Atoll provides a second domestic airport which is a 55-minute flight from Malé International Airport to Kaadhedhoo Airport, followed by a 50-minute speedboat ride to the resort. Climate It is dominated by hot, tropical climate. There are two monsoons, the southwest monsoon from Mai to October and the northeast monsoon, from November to April. The southwest monsoon usually brings wind and rain in June and July. However, temperatures seldom go under 25°C at night. Geography The Maldives are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. Male is the capital of the main island with the same name. Islands are no bigger than a football field and no higher than 2 to 3 metres i altitude. They are surrounded by shallow and clear water. The Maldives are a popular travel destination, due to their beaches. About 99 per cent of the landscape in the Indian Ocean is beneath the water surface. The Maldives are comprised of 1191 islands altogether. 58
