Where do you want to check off this year?
The beautiful Scilly Isles and Jamaica to try out the Beaches resort. We’ll also take the children on their first volunteering adventure to India with Me To We, which partners with charity Free the Children. What are some of the biggest trends you’ve spotted? In family travel – it has to be adventure, sports and learning! Affluent parents aspire to enrich their kids during school holidays, hence the rise of high-profile sporting academies, family adventure holidays and progressive kids clubs focused on local culture.
Gary Noakes Gary has recently visited Jordan, Florida and the Bahamas for TTG. For ttgluxury, he shares a Caribbean round-up, following his trip to the annual Caribbean Travel Marketplace in Nassau.
Where do you want to check off this year?
Iran, where British Airways begins flights in July. I’d also like to return to the Bahamas, to see something more than a conference room. Plus, last year, I rediscovered the Greek islands after a long absence and hanker to return again.
What are some of the biggest trends you’ve spotted? In terms of air travel, which is one of my specialist areas, look out for Emirates’ new business and first-class cabins and Qatar Airways’ new business class. British Airways may even confirm a Club World redesign. Or it may not.
