Why Wait? Letter from the Editor

ON A RECENT TRIP to Los Angeles, a city I visit frequently, I finally visited the Getty Center, one of the more popular sites in Los Angeles. Of course, the minute I stepped onto the beautiful grounds, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t visited sooner. Have you had a similar experience in a destination you frequent? As intrepid travelers, I’m sure you can relate to that sentiment of, “There’s always next time,” when it comes to cities on our regular travel rotation. I’m glad I didn’t wait once again, and despite being limited on time, my colleagues and I enjoyed our visit.

While the summer travel season is in full swing, things at Global Traveler are also heating up! This month, we launch our CEO Series. This new interview section will include conversations with the brains behind the leading travel companies. We kick off this month with Ed Bastian, the face of Delta Air Lines. Learn more on page 22. And for those of you reading this letter while attending this month’s Global Business Travel Association convention, hear more from Bastian, one of the event’s featured speakers.

The GT team descends on Boston this month. Turn to page 58 to catch up on developments in the city. We’ll be attending the GBTA show and celebrating the winners of the 2017 The Trazees, the awards from our sister publication, trazeetravel.com. Find out the favorite travel providers according to millennials on page 34.

We take off around the globe this month, jetting to Brussels, Muscat, Miami, Beirut, Dublin, the Cayman Islands, Japan, Basque Country and Sydney.

Make sure to join us next month as we debut our Wine Issue. Until then, cheers!
