Where To Next?

here is a collective sigh of relief heard across the world as most countries have finally opened their borders, resulting in the long-awaited reawakening of the travel industry. This has perfectly coincided with the summer season, which is typically associated with travel, adventure, and merrymaking.

So, where are you off to?

If you’re planning to visit some place warm and tropical – maybe Maldives or perhaps Fiji – the story Summer Sensations (page 26) just might inspire you when it comes to choosing summer-ready jewellery. Palawan, a picturesque destination in the Philippines known for golden South Sea pearls, will surely entice you as well, especially after reading the story on Palawan’s Golden Pearls (page 46).

For those who have chosen to stay put in the last two years, the story Jewels and the City (page 52) will surely come in handy. If New York, London, and Paris are on your itineraries, then this story will keep you up to speed when it comes to the best places for jewellery shopping, food, and culture. We’ve also put together a visual feature (Globe Trotter) that brings together some of the most breathtaking jewels inspired by countries and regions known for their strong sense of aesthetics (page 32).

In addition to jewellery, we also have a comprehensive travel feature that documents The Evolution of the Experience (page 82). While international travel has resumed, not all experiences are going to be the same. To ensure we’re on the right track, we spoke to key names in travel and hospitality to find out more.

For now, happy reading and even happier travels!
