Dear Reader, Business is slow in the summer months; it’s also holiday time at schools and colleges. Everyone wants to get away and beat the heat. It’s the best time to mix business and pleasure and organise a great brainstorming meeting, or a motivational get-together, which then extends into a family holiday for all participants. This is why hotels and convention centres always plan side events for the spouse and kids. Summer, which used to be considered low season has suddenly picked up, with special packages and deals being offered to lure the customer with attractive offers to detoxify and rejuvenate the body, with water activities and treks into the mountains. Hawai’i, Barcelona, South Africa, Australia and closer to home, Kashmir, are some of the destinations we have written about with details to make your visit more informed, giving you the possibility of finding places and the right things to do. Other regular sections concentrate on hotels and conference centres and personalities who have the experience to advise and recommend.

We wish you a cool summer!
