I HOPE YOU ENJOY this issue, which I am sure finds you wrapping up some interesting and relaxing trips around the world.
Besides the July issue of Global Traveler, this month we publish the 16th annual Global City Guidebook. The special edition will arrive separately and offer a snapshot of well-known destinations and a few up-and-coming places in an easy, one-per-page format. The Global City Guidebook makes an excellent desk reference; our research indicates it has a long shelf life as readers refer to it frequently prior to trips.
Like last year, we will also distribute the GCGB at the Global Business Travel Association show, held this year in Chicago. We will celebrate the success of the book and the magazine at the convention on Aug. 6, where we will also award the winners of The Trazees, voted on by the readers of GT’s sister platform, trazeetravel.com. I hope you can join us in the festivities!
I am pleased to report Global Traveler continued to see increases through the first half of 2019. We are looking forward to the second half of the year and our upcoming special editions, such as the annual Class Act and The Trazee Book. The GT Tested Reader Survey awards will follow closely, held Dec. 11 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.
I received a lot of recommendations for a proposed trip this October to celebrate my birthday, everything from visiting Portugal to luxury glamping to a dude ranch. Cruises ranked high, including Crystal River Cruises; AmaWaterways (Danube cruise); Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection; a Galápagos luxury yacht cruise; and, of course, Cunard’s 14-day Mediterranean “Voyage du Vin” aboard Queen Victoria, sailing in September with wine tasting lecture experts on board and the opportunity to graduate from Cunard Wine Academy courses. But then there’s the Belmond Grand Hibernian or Royal Scotsman luxury train journey with lots of golf opportunities! I am still reviewing, so keep the ideas coming.
Thanks for your continued support of Global Traveler (and all of our brands), and enjoy the balance of the summer!
