The World Travel AwardsNominations in full

The luxury African hotel group will

soon be managing three hotels as

part of a multi-billion-dollar

development, that will include a

conference centre and health spa. The

first five-star, deluxe Sahara Sun

Resort with 309 rooms will open in

November, it is Sun International's

first development outside of southern

Africa.

“This is a hugely exciting

development for the travel industry

and we expect European

holidaymakers to make up a large

percentage of visitors to the

destination,” says Ian Anderson, Sun

International’s Marketing

Director for Europe and

the U.S.

“Port Ghalib is set to

become the ‘must visit’

destination for

holidaymakers seeking a

stylish resort offering

sun, culture, history and

adventure, as well as the

stunning backdrops of

the desert and the Red

Sea.”

Two other less formal

resorts, including the Desert Oasis

with 300 rooms and the Desert Sands

with 347 are also planned. They are

part of the $1.2 billion development

of Port Ghalib by Kuwaiti

developers MA Kharafi.

Port Ghalib lies 210

kilometres south of

Hurghada on the Eastern

Desert coast.

The resorts will back

onto a convention centre

with a capacity of 1,500

seats and 20 breakaway

rooms, all equipped with

state-of-the-art

technology, as well as a

luxurious health spa and

gym. A marina big enough for 1,000

luxury yachts is also planned.

Port Ghalib is being developed

along 18 kilometres of coastline, a

few minutes' drive from the private

Marsa Alam airport. The area of

Marsa Alam was first recognised for

its excellent diving. However, it is

now making a debut in the

mainstream tourism scene in a

similar way to Sharm el Sheikh and

Hurghada.

Charter flights from London Gatwick

and Manchester to Marsa Alam

International Airport are currently

operating once a week by Thomas

Cook Airlines and from Manchester by

thomsonfly. Egypt Air also provides a

scheduled service from Cairo.

Sun Internationalshines on Egypt

Sun International is to open a property on Egypt’s

Red Sea coast that will challenge its flagship Palace

Hotel in Sun City, South Africa. The destination is

Port Ghalib, a five-star tourist town that has been

described as “St Tropez on the Red Sea.”

Now in its 41st year, ITB is gettingsome significant help from the UnitedStates and Canada, as it establishesitself as the world’s largest travelexhibition. This year North America hasthe largest participation at the showsince 2001. And for the first time theUS is exhibiting under the newDiscover America banner.

This year, India is the event’s officialpartner country hosting a wide rangeof activity at the show. “As a principaldestination for business travellers andtourists India has now established afirm place in world tourism, inparticular it is also becoming moreimportant as a source for Europe’sincoming market,” said Dr. ChristianGöke, COO of Messe Berlin. ITB Berlinwill also be staging its first specialistAsian exhibition in Singapore next year.

Travel tech just gotbigger at show

The travel technology section isgrowing this year at ITB with over 120international exhibitors. Experts will beexhibiting products such as back, midand front office software, booking toolsand booking systems.

New exhibitors include Globetrackfrom Ireland, Triton Data Solution fromthe USA and Skyline Internet Stationfrom Israel.

TRAVDEX@ITB:www.phocuswright.com/events/travdexitb

David Ruetz, Senior ProjectManager, ITB Berlin, talks toBreaking Travel News about theshow’s history and offers somehandy tips on getting around themammoth event:

BTN: What are your estimationsfor numbers this year?RUETZ: In total just under 11,000exhibiting companies from some180 countries and territories havesigned up this year. We expect94,553 trade visitors and 68,270members of the general public toattend -- the same number as lastyear.

BTN: Which new countries andcompanies have signed up? RUETZ: After an absence of severalyears Colombia (Hall 3.1) returnsto ITB, as do Sierra Leone, Eritrea,Burkina Faso, Senegal, Niger andBenin (all in Hall 20). Lebanon hasa stronger presence at the fairwith a two-storey stand that istwice the size of last year’sdisplay, as part of a campaign torevitalise its tourism industry (Hall22).

We have innovative sectors suchas ITB Supply, ITB Holiday RealEstate and the Culture Palace, thesection devoted to the Book Worldand cultural tourism. Wellness,Holiday Homes, a bigger Cruisessection and a larger adventuretravel hall are some new features.

BTN: Why is an ITB Asia neededand what gaps will it fill?RUETZ: The Asian market is set tobecome one of the mostimportant source markets forworldwide tourism, this is thereason why ITB Asia is of greatimportance to us. It willstrengthen ITB Berlin as does ourengagement in Orlando, USA.

BTN: What are some of the keyissues and trends in the travelindustry this year? RUETZ: UNWTO statistics show thatthe industry is facing consistentgrowth. Four trends are especiallyimportant in this development:today’s travellers are time poorand money rich. Tour operators’offers are thus expected to meetthese criteria. The gap betweenluxury travel and bargain offers isintensifying. Tourists forget terrorattacks faster than expected, yetthey often have severaldestinations in mind whenplanning and seem to move toother alternatives almostunconsciously. Customers arebecoming increasinglyindependent in their bookingbehaviour. Therefore they preferthe possibility of modular, flexibleonline booking over all-inclusiveoffers.

BTN: In what ways is ITBtackling rising environmentalconcerns?RUETZ: The subject of “Climatechange – a fundamental challengefor the global tourism sector” willbe one of the highlights of the ITBFuture Day on 7 March 2007.

BTN: What is the best way tomake the most of a visit to ITB?RUETZ: I recommend the ITBVirtual Market Place. It is acomprehensive online catalogueavailable to both exhibitors andinterested members of the public.

BTN: In the future, can we sustain842 million arrivals and rising?FRANGIELLI: Yes we can, but by wisegrowth. The demand is clearly there,particularly from new markets likeIndia and China. The question is howto compensate for the environmentalimpact; greenhouse gas creation andpotential site congestion anddegradation.

For this to work the full range ofimpact response measures must bestrengthened including: voluntarymeasures, regulation, certificationschemes, incentives, emission tradingand use of cleaner forms of transport.

BTN: What is the UNWTO's stanceon the environment andresponsible travel? FRANGIELLI: The UNWTO supportsconcerted global action for sustainabletourism and has been a leadingchampion of this for more than adecade. We co-authored agenda 21for travel and tourism, spearheadedthe International Year of Ecotourism,

launched the ST-EP (SustainableTourism Eliminating Poverty)campaign, developed destinationsustainability indicators, supportedgreen labelling and certificationprograms and we are holding twoclimate change summits this year.

BTN: How do you see climatechange impacting the tourismindustry?FRANGIELLI: Over the next severaldecades the impact of climate changewill come to many regions currentlyreceiving tourists: low lying islandswill lose their established beaches,desertification will spread, mountainresorts will lose snow. It will forceproduct and destination adaptation,and a more serious sustainabilityresponse.

It has political traction andmomentum. It is also now acceptedas being real. But we should notoverreact. The deterioration can bemodelled and the responses must beprogressively and rigorously applied.

Governments must also resist theopportunity to cynically play on publicconcerns to simply raise taxes. Theymust also seek to apply a full rangeof regulatory tools to encourage anoptimum response.

BTN: What will your GeneralAssembly in Colombia focus on?FRANGIELLI: The event in Cartagenawill review the results of the climatesummits. It will look at action to

support the Millennium DevelopmentGoals, through our ST-EP programmeand the Global Code of Ethics forTourism. We will also review our plansfor major emergencies, such as avianflu. It will bring together 150Ministers of Tourism and a similarnumber of private sector leaders toexchange views on all the challengesand opportunities identified by us.

A 4.5 percent global rise in tourist numbers pushed the 2006 figure to arecord 842 million. The Madrid-based organisation is forecasting a rise offour percent for 2007. The UNWTO now sees 2007 as "a critical year" toconsolidate tourism as a key agent in the fight against poverty and aprimary tool for sustainable development.

As many as 3,000 tour operatorjobs across the UK could be at riskas a result of the merger betweenEuropean rivals Thomas Cook andBritain’s My Travel, as moreconsumers opt to book their owntrips bypassing travel agents andpackage holidays.

The new company will beLondon-listed, largely debt-freeand is already looking to save asmuch as £75 million (111 millioneuros) a year through cost cutting.The move has been orchestratedby KarstadtQuelle, the Germanretailer who owns Thomas Cookand will now own 52 percent ofthe combined company.

According to media reports, thenew firm is likely to close travelagencies, cut capacity, consolidatefleets and holiday brands to makecrucial savings, as wellas profitfrom the deal.

The deal creates a group which

will have an estimated 35 percentshare of the British packageholiday market. Europeancompetition regulators areunlikely to block the merger afterthey faced serious legal action forblocking the 1999 merger of MyTravel, in its previous incarnation

as Airtours, and First Choice.A prospectus will be issued

within the next month or so, butManny Fontenla-Novoa, ThomasCook’s CEO, will run the newcompany and Thomas Middelhoff,KarstadtQuelle’s chief executivewill be the new chairman.

A total of 16 nations will meet in the West Indies thismonth for the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, and thewhole of the Caribbean is getting ready for a big party.

Over 100,000 sports tourists are expected to travel tothe region for the seven-week event and many will bevisiting the region for the first time, representing ahuge opportunity for the travel and tourism industry.

The event is being held in the West Indies for the firsttime since the tournament began in 1975. Since then ithas mushroomed into the third largest sporting eventin the world and is guaranteed to draw huge crowds.Matches will be taking place in Jamaica, Barbados, StLucia, St Kitts, Antigua, Grenada, Trinidad, St. Vincent,and Guyana.

Destinations hope that the tournament will havelong-term benefits. It has already been a catalyst fornew development, including stadiums, hotels, andtransport infrastructure. However, with a possible 2.2

billion television viewers watching worldwide, pressureto perform on all fronts is building and there areconcerns about costs. There are also worries about anaccommodation crunch, as well as last minute travelcongestion.

Nonetheless, the enthusiasm of tourism officials forthe possible gains looks set to outweigh theseconcerns. For example cricket fans from India andPakistan who traditionally go on holiday elsewhere,will be descending on the various islands en masse.And cruise ships will be moored off some islands toaccommodate the crowds during the event. Even ifthere is the odd problem, visitors can certainly beconfident that in the Caribbean, there will be plenty ofpartying to make-up for it.

Along with a raft of other orders, thenew planes could “add an excitingnew edge to Cathay’s competitivenessand enable us to add new frequenciesand flights,” says the airline’s CEO,Philip Chen.

There is talk of the airline expandingits services to New York and SanFrancisco. Aside from the 777s, a firmorder for 34 other aircraft is in thebag including: five Airbus A330-300and 11 Boeing 747-400s. And theseplanes have to be filled, so expectfurther growth for this airline in theregion.

Philip Chen, CEO of Cathay Pacifictalks to Breaking Travel News aboutwhat the airline is planning goingforwards:

BTN: What developments can weexpect from Cathay in 2007? CHEN: Last year 2006 was amonumental year for Cathay Pacific.We completed a deal makingDragonair the 100 percent-ownedsubsidiary of Cathay Pacific while alsoenhancing our partnership with AirChina, the country’s national carrier.We are already seeing the benefits ofthe integration.

We will be re-configuring all threeclasses of our cabin products to offera total new travel experienceincluding a First Class suite, andenhanced Business Class flat-bed, anda ground breaking Economy Class"hard-shell" seat.

BTN: How will these developmentsimpact your business?CHEN: The deal has created one of the

world's strongest airline groupings.This is a significant part of our Chinastrategy enabling Cathay Pacific toconnect its extensive internationalnetwork with Dragonair short-haulservices in mainland China.

We are already seeing the benefitsof the integration. Backed by CathayPacific's international traffic feed,Dragonair was able to reinstate itsPhuket, Thailand service that wassuspended after the Asian tsunamiand it will soon launch a service toSouth Korea’s southern city of Busan.

BTN: What efficiency measures areyou using to tackle fuel costs? CHEN: The airline's first "silver bullet"freighter, stripped bare of most of itspaint, goes into service on May 18th.This Boeing 747 is about 200kilograms lighter and saves more thanHK$1.5 million (146,000 euros) on itsannual fuel bill. Ultimately all 14Cathay Pacific freighters will undergothe same transformation.

Lighter cargo and baggagecontainers are also being introducedacross the entire Cathay Pacific fleet.At 73 kg each, it is 24 kg lighter thanthe old ones. Cathay Pacific is alsoworking towards shorter routes toEurope with the support of the CivilAviation Administration of China.

BTN: How are you tackling risingenvironmental concerns?CHEN: We are focusing on fuelefficiency as a key way to tackleclimate change. We are also workingwith industry partners ontechnological & logistical

improvements. We have set up a Climate Change

Task Group comprising ofrepresentatives from our coreoperational teams to furtherstrengthen our climate changeposition. We will adopt a continuedand transparent focus on improvedfuel efficiency through investing innew aircraft, operational measuresand post production modifications.

Cathay Pacific recognises thatemissions trading is a possiblemechanism, but we believe thatfurther study is required to ensurethat such initiatives can be appliedpractically to a global industry such asaviation. Carbon offsetting could form

a part of our carbon managementstrategy and we are looking to workwith parties who can identify suitableprojects in the Pearl River DeltaRegion.

BTN: What does it mean to youwinning a number of World TravelAwards including Asia’s LeadingAirline? CHEN: This is clear recognition that wehave consistently met the serviceexpectations of our customers andthat we are a premium internationalnetwork carrier.

We havebeen operating from India into the UKfor almost two years now, and wehave been able to establish ourselvesvery quickly on the routes we serve,but obvously we want to furtherincrease our visibility in the market.We also have compreheniveinternational expansion plans.

India. And we are perfectly positionedto facilitate this demand.

BTN: What are the main challengesfor Jet Airways?BUILT: Awareness in the internationalarena is the biggest challenge. In lessthan two years the position that Jet hasattained in the UK market isimpressive. But there is still muchmore we can achieve. We have greatsupport in the VFR – visiting friends &relatives market. This is very importantfor us. We are also expandingimpressive growth in both the leisureand corporate sectors, but there is stilla lot more to do. We need to getpeople to experience the product. Once

competition on many of the routesthat we serve, both domestically andinternationally. However, we know thestrength of our product and we arecommitted to offering a consistentlysuperior service to our customers.

BTN: What of green issues?

BUILT: Carbon emissions are clearly avery important issue. We alreadyoperate a very young fleet of aircraftwith an average age of 5.3 years. Withthe introduction of the new aircraft thisprofile will continue to improve. Thesebrand new state-of-the-art aircraftmeet the highest standards in respect

AIRLINETRAVELNEWS

In the past few years we’ve seenEos Airlines, Maxjet and nowSilverjet focus on that mostlucrative of fliers -- the trans-Atlantic business person travellingbetween Europe and New York.

It’s not just the London route that isseeing a growth in this type oftraveller. In January, L'Avion, the tradename of Elysair joined the fray,offering a French all-business classservice between Paris Orly andNewark.

And the fledgling start ups are notthe only ones offering such a service.Three network carriers, Lufthansa,Swiss and Air-France-KLM now offernarrow body jets in all-business classconfigurations on a small number oftransatlantic routes.

With Silverjet becoming the thirdsuch company to fly the London-NewYork route this January, the Wall Street

Journal started calling it a “Dog Fight inBusiness Class.”

Maxjet and Silverjet are now offeringflights for £1,000, or 1,500 euros.British Airways and Virgin chargearound £4,000 for business-classflights. Eos undercuts them andcharges £3,000. Maxjet flies out ofLondon's Stansted airport as does Eos,and for Silverjet their base is Lutonairport. Both of these airports arefurther out from central London thanthe likes of Heathrow or Gatwick.

When compared with the legacycarriers, frequency for flights is notgreat. Taken together, Eos, Maxjet andSilverjet only offer about a third asmany flights as British Airways doesalone. However, all expect to expandin the coming years. Silverjet is alsoclaiming to be the world's first carbonneutral airline.

Breaking Travel News caught upwith Lawrence Hunt, founder andCEO of Silverjet:

BTN: What are your plans for theairline?

HUNT: We have a second aircraftcoming in May for another dailyservice and then a third aircraft inNovember for our third dailyservice to Newark, New York.

BTN: What are your long-termgoals?HUNT: We want to dominate theNew York route and become themarket leader on that route forbusiness class services with ourvery low-fares of £1,000 return(1,500 euros).

We are looking at over 30 routesout of London, if the economics ofthis business work. People want aflat-bed if it is more than a sevenhour trip but the fares areextortionately high, up to £4000and that’s where the economics ofour aircraft work.

BTN: How are you going to winbusiness from British Airways orVirgin Atlantic?

HUNT: The major airport hubsaround the world have become azoo and if I paid £4,000 for theexperience and had to spend twohours in Heathrow or JFK, I wouldbe upset.

Silverjet is about creating aprivate jet experience so we getpeople to the airport by chauffeuror helicopter with a 30 minutecheck-in. We get them on the planein a nice relaxing way, as youwould with a private jet.

BTN: What can we expect fromyour marketing campaign?HUNT: Initially we will use prettypunchy advertisements about whywe are different, offering people a

30 minute check-in, the £1000price tag, chauffeur and helicoptertransfer. Then there is the great in-flight service -- you can pre-orderyour meals or pre-order yourmovies on our website.

The customer experience fromleaving your home to reaching yourfinal destination actually isshockingly bad. We have looked atthe whole end-to-end journey thatthe customer has to go through andtried to provide a service that is inkeeping with people who arepaying £1000 upwards for a flight -- which is still a lot of money toanybody.

BTN: This market is now prettycompetitive, is this good news? HUNT: We think it is great for thesector. Eos and Maxjet are bothdoing well. They are proving thatthere is a market for what we havebeen talking about and they aredemonstrating that customersactually want faster check-in timesand lower-fares, but they also wanta flat-bed.

FAR-REACHINGHOTEL SITE ENTERSTHE MARKETA few years ago the notion of making a hotel reservation via the

Internet was a new concept. Most people preferred to stick to the

old-fashioned way, trusting no one but a familiar face at their local

travel agency, or rather their own telephones and fax machines. But

today booking your accommodation online is unquestionably the best

way to go as it’s easy, quick, safe and hassle-free.

W ebsites offering to doyour hotel bookingsfor you are becoming

increasingly popular. The likesof Expedia, Travelocity andHotels.com are takingthousands of bookings everyday for accommodation acrossthe globe. But now there’s abrand new, far-reaching hotel-focused website entering themarketplace. This ground-breaking system is calledvlmDirect.com, and is unique inthe way that it allows travellersto deal with the hotels directly –a cheaper and more successfuloption at the best of times.

Booking direct is a trend thathas gripped the industry overthe last few years. The airlineswere first to stop payingcommissions to travel agents,changing their focus to onlineofferings which allowed clientsto book direct. Easyjet was oneof the first to pioneer directbooking, resulting in cheaperfares for the customer. Nowmost airlines have followed suit,proving that this formula worksand in turn increasesprofitability.

VLM, a brainchild of the WorldTravel Group, was conceivedafter a number of well-travelleddirectors became disenchantedwith trying to book online withthe major travel portals.

When director David Falconwas travelling to Stuttgart atlate notice, he was told bytravel portals that there were no

rooms available at a particularhotel. He thought this ratherodd as he was travelling out ofseason, and decided to contactthe hotel directly. They told himthere were plenty of roomsavailable.

The problem occurs withthird-party travel websites thatbuy blocks of rooms at specialmerchant prices. These ratesare lower to the portals, butmay not necessarily be to theconsumer. When some portalruns out of inventory for aparticular hotel, they telltravellers there are no roomsleft. They then try and steerpeople to a nearby hotel wheremerchant-rate rooms areavailable. This activity is moreprofitable for the websites, butmay not be giving consumersthe rooms they want in the areathey want.

At one stage, InterContinentalHotels Group (IHG) stoppeddoing business with Expediaand Hotels.com over suchpractices, and subsequently setup its own direct bookingsystem. This has led thecompany to see onlinebookings increase on itswebsites, and now other majorhotel chains are following suitwith direct booking systems.

In reality most people want todeal with the hotel directly, theydon’t want a middle man. Theproblem with search enginetechnology today is that thetravel portals dominate in any

search for accommodationonline. It is especially hard tofind those smaller, independenthotels that offer good rates andgood service.

VlmDirect.com readdressesthis balance as they do notfavour any single property, butare there to document thefacts. Aiming to provide adirectory for travel brandswhich consumers and travelagents can use to locate andcontact hotels worldwide,VLM’s strong visual element,with over 400 videos and13,000 virtual tours, allows youto make your own choicesthrough what you see.

VLM is the perfect tool for thetraveller who still prefers tomake a booking over the phonebut want to be able to viewtheir options by browsing onlinefirst.

www.vlmDirect.com

Over 490,000properties in 230countries

Hard work is finally paying offfor the entrepreneurial teamthat developed VLM. There’salready a catalogue of over490,000 properties in over 230countries and territories acrossthe globe, and the crew hasambitious plans to grow the siteinto the largest accommodationdatabase in the world. Not justthe main hotel chains are beingincluded, but all independenthotels as well, many of whichare preferred by individualtravellers. New destinations arealso constantly beingresearched and added to thelistings.

The VLM model is differentfrom its competitors in that it isnot involved in any transactionat the point of booking a room.Travellers pay fees directly tothe property and make theirown personal arrangements. Inother words, VLM does nottake commission from the hotelor the consumer. VLM’s entrylevel listing will always be freeof charge to the hoteliers, and acomplimentary sign-up forupgraded packages is valid tillthe end of this year. Thebusiness model involvescharging properties who wantto put more than just their basicdetails on the website, such as

rich media including streamingvideo, IPIX 360 visuals andphotos.

The team at World TravelGroup is now in the promotionphase of vlmDirect.com on theInternet. The desire to be thefirst site to appear whentravellers search foraccommodation online,achieving high rankings onsearch engines is a core goal.

A comprehensive traveldirectory, launching initially withhotels but with ambitions toinclude other travel productsdown the line, the VLM site islooking to be the encyclopaediaof accommodation on theInternet, - the Craig's List or theYellow Pages for the travel andhotel industry worldwide.

It will empower people andgive them the choice to bookwhatever they want wheneverthey want to - whether it's anItalian traveller looking for ahotel in Indonesia or a Chineseperson booking in Cuba.

Booking accommodationonline has never been easier,and with VLM’s extensivedatabase you are sure to findwhat you are looking for. Themessage is plain and simple:when you book direct youalways get the best rate.

According to consulting firm GrantThornton, the World Cup will pumparound US$3 billion into the SouthAfrican economy and create more than125,000 jobs. The indirect spin-offs ofan improved image abroad could havean even greater impact on theeconomy.

President Thabo Mbeki recently gavea rallying call saying: “the Soccer WorldCup will not slip through the fingers ofthe people of South Africa, it will takeplace, and it will be a resoundingsuccess.”

Dubbed the "Next Stop South Africa"campaign, government and privatepromoters are already going out acrossthe globe to promote the longer-termstrategy of encouraging investment ininfrastructure and interest in thetourism sector.

The biggest advocates are thoseoperators who stand to benefit fromthe influx of new travellers into SouthAfrica. Adrian Gardiner, founder of theMantis Collection properties, talks toBTN about the excitement the 2010FIFA World Cup is generating:

www.fifa.com

BTN: What can we expect fromMantis and Shamwari this year?GARDINER: We are very excitedbecause we are hosting the 2010 FIFAWorld Cup in South Africa, so businessis set to pick up considerably. And wehave recently boosted our associationwith the Born Free Foundation, whichis an animal welfare and conservationcharity.

The Shamwari Game Reserve alsogets better. We have more animalsthere, we are malaria free and wehave a great position in South Africabeing close to Cape Town. We are only45 minutes from the internationalairport. It is great to know that theWorld Cup is coming here in 2010 and

we are expecting a really bumper fewyears ahead.

BTN: How do you plan to capitaliseon the World Cup?GARDINER: I think South Africa as awhole needs to capitalise on theevent. It is a big competition that hasnever been held in Africa before. Ithink we are just part of the biggerpicture. We must be there and wemust show the world that we can givetravellers the best transport facilities,five-star establishments, everythingthat is really associated with tourism --that is what we are there for.

BTN: What other things need tochange to realise the potential?GARDINER: I think we need to look atour air and open skies policy. I thinksomething has got to be done there.Our planes are full at the moment.Everywhere you go they are full. Weknow that we have got transportelements to fix up internally. We havegot to move these people around. Weare anticipating a lot of visitors for theWorld Cup. We have got three or fouryears to crack this -- but let us get itright.

BTN: Which are growth markets foryou?GARDINER: America is still growing forus. The eastern seaboard market is stilla difficult market. Our properties arefive-star boutique hotels, so we reallydo not have the bus tours and thevolume clients coming to us. Also thereare dietary requirements, languagerequirements and that sort of thing --this is not really our skill. We are in thesmall, boutique, five-star, top-end ofthe market and at this stage the UK isstill our top market by far.

BTN: What does it mean for you towin at this year’s World TravelAwards?GARDINER: You know it was the ninthtime at Turks and Caicos that Shamwariwon the World’s Leading ConservationProject and World’s Leading Safari. It issomething that some day you feel maybe taken for granted but it is a lot ofhard work. We want to keep winningthat award. It means so much to us. Itmeans so much to our people and forthe things that we stand for.

South Africa spearheads tourismwith World Cup In 2010 there will be six weeks in summer when

the eyes of billions of television viewers, an estimated

three million international visitors and the cream of the

world’s sporting media will be focused on the southern

tip of Africa.

Swissotel Nai Lert Park in Bangkok isnow managed by the Raffles Groupand is being headed up by AurelioGiraudo, who comes from the RegentFour Seasons Taipei, where he led thehotel into the elite international five-star category.

Giraudo is bullish about betteroccupancy rates in the wake of theNew Year's Eve bomb blasts, whichdented tourism. The hotel is alreadyseeing occupancy levels growingmonth-to-month. The GM is nowprojecting an increase of 20 percentfrom the year 2006.

Currently the hotel is looking to

acquire more business from the MICEsector. Swissotel Nai Lert Park is alsoaspiring to be the preferred venue forbanquets, parties, conferences andwedding ceremonies in the Thaicapital. Breaking Travel News caughtup with the new manager AurelioGiraudo to talk about his new role:

BTN: How did you find yourselfafter your move to Thailand?GIRAUDO: I returned to Thailand aftertwo and a half years away and I amfully charged looking forward to bethe talk of the town. I am looking tomake the hotel the best in Bangkok.It is a very competitive market that isgrowing day-to-day. I know I will facechallenges but I’m confident that withthis great product that I am managingthat we will reach our target.

BTN: What developments can weexpect from the Nai Lert Park in2007? GIRAUDO: We will develop our staffand elevate our service to the nextlevel. In every thriving hotel it is thelittle things that add up to success.Something as seemingly insignificantas the smell of flowers in a room asmay help a guest remember a place.

One of the most significant changeswill be my effort to elevate ourFrench Restaurant to the top by hiringa top Michelin star Chef from France.

We have to exceed our guests’expectations by adding little touches.

BTN: How will these developmentsimpact your business? GIRAUDO: We expect 2007 to be avery strong year for us. We have theproduct and we have a strong market.We have a lot of competition.However, the cake is big enough foreveryone. We go after a differentclient, and we all have our strengthsand weaknesses. The hotel business isno different from the ice cream trade.You would not want to have vanilla allthe time, right? You want to try newflavours? And there are customerswho will try new flavours and staywith us.

BTN: What advantages have yougained from the world wide web?The online marketplace is a great way

for consumers to find the mostsuitable hotel for their needs. It isdefinitely positive for all hotels in thesame area to be listed in the samepage so people can browse through.The only disadvantage of the onlinemarket is the loss of personal touch,which we value greatly.

BTN: What does it mean to youbeing nominated for a WorldTravel Award?GIRAUDO: It is an honour to benominated. I am the winner for thepast three years in Taipei, and I willbe very happy to be a winner again.This award will be dedicated to all mystaff and to the hotel group.

For years tourists could only see theGalapagos Islands via a boat.However, in recent times thebooming $100 million tourist industry

has led to the building of hotels onland, such as the Royal Palm Hotel onSanta Cruz.

It helps that this is one of the

world's most prominent areas ofoutstanding natural beauty,containing hundreds of rare species ofanimal, plant and bird life, includinggiant tortoises, green sea turtles andiguanas

Only a 90-minute flight, 600 milesoff the coast of Ecuador, this cluster of13 major islands has changed littlesince 1835, when Charles Darwinvisited aboard the HMS Beagle.

The island of Santa Cruz is anoutpost for Millennium resorts. Theyrun the Galapagos National Park’sonly premier hotel. Located in thehighlands, the Royal Palm Hotel is aluxury eco-lodge that has wonmyriads of accolades -- Tatlermagazine has even voted it one ofthe best hotels in the world.

"It is a secluded haven for devoteesof conservation. I do not knowanywhere else where pristine nature

can be experienced from an exclusivehideaway,” major shareholder in theresort, John Madejski told the media.

"One can understand how Darwinmust have felt seeing the island'sstunning landscape and wildlife forthe first time.”

In order to stay on top of theincreasingly competitive market in theregion, Sandals and Beaches Resortsare expanding their resorts in Antigua,as well as the Turks & Caicos.

“It is our goal to continue to redefinewhat a luxury Caribbean holiday shouldbe,” said Gordon “Butch” Stewart,chairman of the resort group. He madethe statement after unveiling a $70million expansion to Sandals GrandeAntigua Resort & Spa including an all-suite Mediterranean Village that willopen in June 2007.

Sandals and Beaches Resorts havebeen voted “The World’s MostRomantic Resort” ten years in a row atthe annual World Travel Awards. Theyalso garnered eight other awards thisyear including “Caribbean's LeadingHotel Brand” and “World's Leading All-Inclusive Company.”

Breaking Travel News caught up withAnthony Cowles, UK managing director,Sandals and Beaches Resorts to talkabout their latest renovation plans:

BTN: How have the bookings beenfaring so far in 2007?

COWLES: The bookings have been verystrong, although the year started quiteweak. I think people have recognisedthe things we have been doing atSandals and Beaches to improve theproperties and the standards, and toactually raise the bar for all-inclusiveaccommodation.

BTN: What can we expect fromSandals this year?COWLES: We are about to finish a newblock in Antigua, the MediterraneanVillage which is a 180 all-suite blockwith private plunge pools, Jacuzzis,marble bathrooms. We have alsostarted a 160 bedroom all-suiteextension to the property in Turks &Caicos -- the Italian Village and thatcomes online in September of this yearand that will be a fantastic addition tothis property. We are also making thewater park five times the size that it isnow, with water slides and all thelatest water sports and activities.

BTN: What are the marketing andsales challenges you face?COWLES: The challenge for us is to

really communicate the message thatwe have raised the bar as far as all-inclusive resorts are concerned. Wereally offer a fantastic, high-qualityproduct. The challenge for us is tocommunicate that message verystrongly and to make people aware ofthe quality of the product that weactually offer and to differentiateourselves from other so-called all-inclusive resorts that provide very fewof the activities and the level of servicethat we offer.

BTN: How do you plan to do that?COWLES: We are already doing a lot oftelevision advertising with newcreative spots that try to push thatmessage forwards. We are doing a lotof trade advertising within magazinesand newspapers in the UK. We had avery big radio promotion over theValentine’s Day and weekend period.We hope that that will start to pushthe message through and people willrealise the quality we are offering.

BTN: What are you doing in thefood and beverage area?

COWLES: We have just introduced newwines throughout all the properties.We have an arrangement with FostersEstates and they are bringing inBeringer wines which will be thepouring wines throughout the hotelsand resorts. These are very high qualitywines like Wolf Blass and Penfolds. Thisis a marked improvement for us and ismore than the competition is offering.

BTN: What does it mean for thegroup winning a whole host ofWorld Travel Awards and hostingthe event at your resort in theTurks & Caicos on the island ofProvidenciales?COWLES: It reinforces that the work weare doing with the product, in terms ofthe dining and the accommodation,raises the bar in the all-inclusivemarket place. It is an endorsement ofour work and commitment. We arevery pleased with those awards. It isgratifying to know that the work weare putting into the product isrecognised and rewarded in this way.

With tourism to the regionmushrooming this fast, PATA says thatgrowing the sector will take secondplace to actually managing this growth.Income is steadily rising across most ofthe middle-class in Asia. There is alsoincreasing connectivity by air, sea andland, as well as a growing diversity oftourism productS in the region.

Breaking Travel News caught up withJohn Koldowski, director of PATA’sStrategic Intelligence Centre to discussthe issues that Asia faces:

BTN: What challenges does PATAface in managing tourism growthin the region?KOLDOWSKI: What we must do as anindustry -- and this is where PATAcomes into the picture -- is ensure thatwe do not love our tourism product ‘todeath.’ Sustainability and maximisingconsumer satisfaction with the productwill become increasingly moreimportant.

BTN: You have recently enhancedcooperation with China. What canwe expect from their outboundmarket?

KOLDOWSKI: Preliminary outboundfigures show 34.5 million Chinesetravelled beyond their country last year.Many forecast this will become 100million by the end of the seconddecade, 2020. Across the Asia-Pacific,destinations we are forecasting arrivalsfrom China to lift from the 28.4 millionachieved in 2005 to 40.5 million by theend of 2009, that suggests an annualgrowth rate of around nine percent.

BTN: Are many markets ready forthe growth in Chinese tourists? KOLDOWSKI: While many destinationsare already prepared for Chinesetravellers, few may actually realisewhat success in this market may mean.One of the key factors will be indealing with the interaction of theChinese travellers with the ‘traditional’source market guests. Is there apreferred ‘mix’ of clientele that ensuressatisfaction to all concerned? It will bea challenge, but one that mostdestinations will rise up to.

BTN: What will hosting the OlympicGames do for China, in terms oftourism? KOLDOWSKI: Mega-events of this type

certainly do showcase the host countryand perhaps more importantly showthe world that the host country has thelogistics and practical capabilities tocarry something of this magnitude off.In that regard China is in the sameposition as any other host country.

BTN: India is one of the fastestgrowing outbound travel marketsin the world. What can we expectfrom this country in terms ofoutbound tourism growth?KOLDOWSKI: As air liberalisationcontinues you will see more Indianstake to the skies, especially as themiddle-class expands. PATA isforecasting growth of close to 11percent per annum in terms of Indiantravellers arriving at Asia-Pacificdestinations between 2005 and 2009.By the end of 2009 we expect that thevolume of Indians travelling to Asia-Pacific destinations will have jumpedfrom 2.9 million recorded in 2005 toalmost 4.4 million.

BTN: How are the areas hit by theIndian Ocean tsunami doing?KOLDOWSKI: It appears that at theaggregate level at least, figures have

rebounded in all areas; for example theMaldives recorded its second best yearever in 2005, just 2.3 percent behindthe record year of 2004. Similarly, SriLanka is only 1.2 percent behind therecord year volume of 2004.

In Thailand, Phuket is reportedlydoing well and if we look at the hoteloperating statistics from Deloitte’sHotel Benchmark survey, we see thatthe average room occupancy ratejumped from 47.7 percent in 2005 to63.4 percent in 2006. This is stillbehind the peak levels of 2004 pre-tsunami but a marked improvementfrom 2005.
