“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” So said Mark Twain in his book The Innocents Abroad, published in 1869. Travel might sometimes seem light and frivolous — and oſten it should be — but to encourage and facilitate people to see the world isn’t just a job, it’s something more vital. At no time is travel more joyful
than for a wedding or honeymoon. We take a look at this important sector from p26, identifying key destinations and trends for nuptials and honeymoons abroad. There’s also an analysis of the luxury cruise sector (p30), a market that continues to expand in new and exciting directions. For destination inspiration,
start at p39, with a guide to finding the right family holiday in Italy. Cuba is topping a lot of travel lists at the moment: from p53, find out more about what there is to do and see on the Caribbean island beyond its charming capital; from exploring the rural tobacco farms of Vinales to revolutionary history in Santa Clara. Remember, as Maya Angelou
said in Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now: “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
