INDUSTRY COMMENT
PILAR CANO CEO, Central America Tourism Agency (CATA) "Central America is
renowned for its biodiversity and exotic nature and is one of the top destinations in the world for eco-tourism and adventure tourism. But what makes it really special is that this can be combined with pristine beaches – both on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts – charming colonial towns, modern cities, amazing archaeological sites and fascinating indigenous cultures." (See Central America, page 25)
JO SMETHURST head of product, The Private Travel Company "The Seychelles is seeing a
strong resurgence in bookings as it is back in vogue as a honeymoon destination. Mauritius continues to offer reliable luxury and incredible value with strong tactical offers in place for the cooler summer months. In the Maldives the newly-opened Constance Moofushi and the established Taj-Coral Reef cater to the increase in demand for all-inclusive luxury properties." (See Indian Ocean Luxury, page 16)

I hope you enjoy your new magazine!
