Sweet Dreams: Letter From The Editor

Mar 1, 2015
2015 / February 2015

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something.
— Eurythmics, 1983

The lyrics to “Sweet Dreams,” the 1983 hit song by British rock/pop duo Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart (aka the Eurythmics), kept running through my head as we produced the February issue of Global Traveler.

In a nod to our 11th anniversary and Valentine’s Day, we decided to run with the theme “Business Meets Romance,” suggesting ways to incorporate a bit of romance into business travel by sharing the journey with a loved one. From sipping Champagne in a first-class cabin en route to a dreamy destination to selecting the perfect I-love-you gift at one of the world’s top duty-free airport malls, we’ve got you covered. Rose petals? Chocolate truffles? Breakfast in bed? Professional concierges at luxury hotels have just one response: Your wish is my command.

Whether celebrating Valentine’s Day or a personal milestone, sharing the gift of travel is a boon to romance, but when business calls, bring Global Traveler along for the ride. We’re ready to help you hit the ground running with insider insights into the best place for a power breakfast in Zürich, nightlife in Miami’s NoBe neighborhood, the economic outlook for Bangalore and the business landscape in Atlanta. We share tips for exploring the heights of Tianjin and extending a stay in Saxony with side trips to Leipzig and Dresden. We also explore the new world of corporate getaways and how young professionals joining the workforce are impacting meeting trends.

We’ve traveled the world and the seven seas to bring you sweet dreams.
