The new exclusive partnership between Princess Cruises and Dario Cecchini, the most renowned butcher in the world, is based on a mutual love of tradition, cuisine, and holidays. The new specialty impromptu restaurant “The Butcher’s Block by Dario” is a part of this cooperation and will debut in February 2024 aboard the next Sun Princess. Eight generations of fathers have taught their sons how to run Cecchini’s butcher shop and restaurants in the Tuscan town of Panzano, Italy, and he has more than 48 years of expertise. Through the use of different types of meat and the inclusion of his grandmother’s recipes, which he fell in love with as a child, Cecchini, who is featured on Netflix’s well-known “Chef’s Table,” is known for his compassion for the animals and efforts to restore respect to the butchering craft. The Butcher’s Block by Dario, a unique unplanned experience with a sizable shared, family-style table serving up a carnivore’s fantasy, debuts on deck 9 of the new Sun Princess. Including Cecchini’s famous cuts of beef and steak, this luxury dining establishment serves food that is expertly cooked. Additionally, Cecchini will create a sophisticated, upmarket cuisine for Crown Grill, the cruise line’s signature restaurant. The famous “Bistecca Alla Fiorentina,” a rare Florentine steak served with the bone, is prominently listed on the menu. It is directly imported from Panzano’s renowned Antica Macelleria Cecchini butcher shop. According to Cecchini, “Princess’ culinary offerings embody a rich Italian heritage, uniting a shared passion for family recipes, lively social dining, and a love of celebrating every day of life.” “My life as an artesian butcher holds deep significance because I hold a profound respect for the gift of the animal, and I ensure that shines through when guests enjoy my new restaurant and delectable menus sailing the world on the beautiful Sun Princess.” In addition to The Butcher’s Block by Dario and Crown Grill, previously announced speciality restaurants on Sun Princess include Kai Sushi, a modern sushi bar; Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, a Princess favourite serving up fresh-made Italian pasta and unique courses; Umai Teppanyaki, a Sun Princess exclusive offering a fusion of teppan cuisine and showmanship; and The Catch by Rudi, from renowned Chef Rudi Sodamin featuring treasures from the seas. Customers will enjoy everything the Sun Princess brings to the table, from fine dining to casual, from sumptuous to healthy, according to John Padgett, CEO of Princess. “Princess is dedicated to creating the finest experiences for guests spanning all cultures, tastes, and preferences,” he added. 29 brand-new, exclusive dining and lounge options will be available to guests at Sun Princess, offering delectable excursions, exciting feasts, opulent drinks, and gratifying snacks. The Sun Princess’s three-story main dining room, Horizons, enhances the dining experience with breathtaking wake views, natural light, art sculptures, and delicious meals served by hospitable waitstaff. The 4,300-passenger, 175,500-ton Sun Princess, which is now being built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, will also have opulent staterooms and suites in a range of categories as well as an assortment of thrilling new entertainment and activity options. Since it features the most sun decks and balconies of any Princess ship, passengers may take advantage of the sunshine and pristine waters of the Mediterranean and Caribbean from the comfort of their stateroom. The Arena! represents an advancement and the most technologically advanced Princess Theatre design, while The Dome, a transforming entertainment space inspired by Santorini’s terraces, is the perfect place to decompress. The addition of the special Princess Medallion on Sun Princess would strengthen Princess’ position as a leader in providing the exceptional personalized experiences typical of small ships while utilizing only the best large ship amenities. Sales are under underway for the inaugural 2024 sailings of Sun Princess to the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Caribbean.

The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel at Hotel Indigo honors the people, places, and experiences that make the neighborhood unique. The Neighbourhood Gallery at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, a member of IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, aims to bring the next generation of travelers inspiration to get out and explore by bringing to light the hidden treasures that are only discovered in a neighborhood. The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel, the company’s newest international marketing initiative, is based on the company’s tenet that when you view the world through your neighborhood, your world is changed. According to a global survey* conducted by Hotel Indigo, 73% of respondents think it’s critical for a hotel they stay at while traveling to be connected to the neighborhood since doing so may encourage more adventurous activities, the desire to try new things, and the chance to meet new people. It also reveals how immersive travel affects our worldview, with 1 in 2 travelers questioning their life’s course after returning from a journey, leading to 63 percent making significant life changes. The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel by Hotel Indigo is proof of that; when you stay there, you don’t just visit a location; rather, you completely immerse yourself in it and then bring a little part of it home with you. The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel, a planned global rollout from Hotel Indigo, is intended to showcase how visitors may discover—or rediscover—some of the most enthralling and culturally significant neighborhoods both within and outside the hotel. No two Hotel Indigo locations are the same, just as no two neighborhoods are the same. A wall of wireless radios at Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road as a nod to the neighborhood being the birthplace of wireless radio stations in Thailand, or Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong’s design which is rooted in the village’s fishing heritage. Other examples include the villas at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach that are inspired by typical Balinese houses and Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong’s Peranakan influences found in art murals and guestroom floor tiles. Every single property draws inspiration from neighborhood cues that encourage curiosity about uncharted territory. “The insights from our recent survey continue to reiterate the importance of providing an authentic stay experience that’s reflective of a hotel’s destination,” said Rajit Sukumaran, Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts, South East Asia & Korea. Due to the fact that our facilities are located in the heart of communities all around the world, Hotel Indigo offers its guests just that. The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel campaign artfully contrasts our brand with the neighborhoods in which we operate, appealing to younger travelers eager to experience the local culture. “It’s wonderful that travelers will soon have the opportunity to explore new neighborhoods with Hotel Indigo as the brand debuts in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur and Vietnam’s vibrant city Ho Chi Minh City, as well as expanding its presence into two well-liked vacation spots in Indonesia, Bintan and Bandung.” The World’s Neighbourhood Hotel by Hotel Indigo conveys a local vibe despite being a global advertising campaign. The next-generation explorer-specific graphics and videos will be displayed online, on television, in theaters, in digital out-of-home advertising, and on brand social media channels like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. In order to further fuel the desire to have an authentically local experience wherever you are in the world, Hotel Indigo will also be developing customized neighbourhood guides through strategic partnerships. According to survey results, 55% of travelers have changed their plans as a result of a local’s recommendation. The purpose of the brand Hotel Indigo is to bring distinctive and genuine illumination to the neighborhood. Currently, there are 145 Hotel Indigo locations operating, and there are another 128 planned (see Annex A for further details), including new openings in South East Asia in Kuala Lumpur in late 2023 and Saigon, Bintan, and Bandung in 2024. Over the following three to five years, the brand is committed to increasing its global portfolio.

Event organizers may now engage with Bonza’s dedicated Group Travel Champions on a customized planning and booking process for groups of ten or more with the opening of Bonza’s group bookings division. We’re excited at Bonza to improve and formalize our group booking capabilities. We already notice a rise in interest in group reservations as more people opt to go to nearby destinations for business activities. Additionally, there is a substantial demand for travel on Bonza for sporting events; in fact, one of our very first bookings, when we initially went on sale in January, was 550 netball players going to Townsville for a competition. Tim Jordan, CEO of Bonza, said, “We’re humbled to have them return for the event next year. Event organizers can get a price from Bonza’s Group Travel Champions if they have 10 or more guests traveling on the same airline. Each quote comes with a 23kg checked baggage allowance, an 8kg hand luggage allowance, and the choice of “picking seats.” Within seven days, a 25% deposit is required. Final names and payment are due 30 days prior to departure. Up until two days prior to departure, Bonza can make no additional charges to modify the names on the reservations. Bank transfer or credit card payments are accepted, giving organizations and enterprises more possibilities. More companies take a brief break to rejoice with their staff as the silly season draws near. For the same cost as a regular restaurant reservation or catered event, numerous organizations are choosing to celebrate the end of the year by traveling through our network, Jordan continued.

The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) have jointly announced a significant new agreement to create a structured framework for hotel sustainability that will result in GSTC Certification. The partnership paves the basis for a stepwise development toward the GSTC Hotel Sustainability Certification while endorsing the current WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics. WTTC and GSTC are working together to deliver a strong message to the market about the coherence and collaboration in the travel and tourism sector in an era where sustainability is crucial. The WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics verification and GSTC Hotel Sustainability Certification will now be separated by an intermediate verification step, which is intended to assist hotels in their journey towards full sustainability. WTTC President & CEO Julia Simpson stated: “Working with a prestigious organization like GSTC strengthens our commitment to guiding the sector toward a more sustainable future. To promote change, establish standards, and motivate others to follow, we must collaborate with significant international actors like GSTC. “With members from all over the world, GSTC’s rigorous accreditation program not only elevates our initiative but also makes sure that the hospitality industry globally moves toward a shared vision of sustainability,” the GSTC’s website states. “WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics is a finely crafted entry level for hotels of any size and type to begin their journey to sustainable practices,” noted Randy Durband, CEO of GSTC. With the greatest levels of assurance currently available, GSTC certification by GSTC-accredited certifying bodies is widely regarded as the gold standard in certification of sustainable hotels. The unified pathway’s release today offers clarity for starting and for ongoing improvement. Stages must be treated as such and not as objectives to be attained and maintained. Industry access to the WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics is currently available, and the second and intermediate WTTC verification program, which will soon be offered, is expected to do so in 2024. This will serve as the essential transitional step between the WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics and the stringent certification by GSTC, providing a slow but thorough approach towards sustainability. WTTC Hotel Sustainability Basics satisfies 9 GSTC Certification requirements. The intermediate verification stage will adhere to 28 GSTC Certification requirements. A premises will acquire GSTC Certification when it satisfies all 42 requirements.

In 2024, internal meetings are anticipated to continue to be a prominent growth driver for the meetings and events sector. According to the 13th Annual Global Meetings and Events Forecast published by American Express GBT Meetings & Events, this is mostly motivated by firms looking to develop partnerships and connect their dispersed workforces. More than 500 meeting and events experts from around the world were polled for the 2024 Forecast, and more than a dozen business titans also provided insight. Internal meetings are expected to expand the fastest of all meeting kinds, according to meeting pros, with 48% of respondents projecting more attendees in 2019. The following are other highlights from the 2024 Forecast: 28% of respondents claim that programs have already reached or surpassed pre-pandemic attendance levels, and 42% anticipate achieving that objective in 2024. Lead times are expected to be the same or shorter in 2024 by 72% of meeting planners. Only 25% of respondents stated they were likely or very likely to look for a job in the upcoming year; of those, more than 65% intend to stay in the same sector, showing that meeting professionals are still optimistic about the industry’s future. “With more distributed workforces than ever, companies are reassessing the importance of internal interactions for team cohesion, productivity, creativity, engagement, and employee welfare,” said Gerardo Tejado, SVP, Professional Services, Amex GBT. There has never been more evidence that face-to-face interactions and encounters are vital, acting as the foundation for both personal and professional success. According to our forecast, 2024 will be a dynamic year since expenditures are growing, attendance is up, and technological use is accelerating quickly. Internal In-Person Meetings Are Accelerated by Distributed Workforce Models The majority of respondents predicted that meetings and events would either be totally in-person (59%) or hybrid (20%) in the coming year, with 21% of events taking place virtually. Given the widespread use of hybrid and remote working models by enterprises, meetings and events play a bigger part in bringing disparate teams together and the importance of in-person contacts keeps rising. According to 42% of respondents, there will be more internal meetings and customer advisory boards in 2016. This is expected to be followed by incentives (38%), small and simple meetings (37% each), product launches, senior leadership meetings, conferences with trade shows (35%), and conferences without trade shows (30%). According to Amex GBT’s Hotel Monitor 2024, hotel rates will probably continue to grow in most places around the world in 2024, and meetings and events will likely take the place of leisure travel’s dwindling demand.  The Digital Divide is Being Bridged The way meeting professionals conduct their work, including location research, event communication, and registration automation, is projected to undergo significant change as a result of technology. For personalized attendee messaging, artificial intelligence (AI) is being employed more and more; 42% of respondents said they expect to use AI in 2024. With an anticipated usage rate of over 60%, mobile apps are expected to remain a mainstay at meetings and events. Virtual reality technologies are still being tested by meeting professionals, with 41% of respondents planning to utilize them in 2019. According to Tejado, “Meeting planners must effectively harness the available tools by using technology for task automation, revising meeting program policies to accelerate budget approvals, and integrating business and meetings travel.” Adoption of sustainability is still increasing. By the end of 2024, their organizations would have net zero goals, according to the majority of meeting professionals (78%). locating qualified suppliers (39%) and budget (35%), assessing impact and post-event CO2 calculation (32%), locating places with little travel time (28%), and a lack of skills/resources/knowledge (23%), are a few of the problems respondents mentioned. Global Perspective: Regional Perspective What the industry might anticipate in the following year varies by area. N. AMERICA Meeting industry experts in North America claim that they are busy, engaged, and enthusiastic about new technology as we move into the coming year. They think things are going well for their line of work: When asked how positive they were about the state of the industry, 84% responded that they would rate their own optimism at 8 or above on a scale of 1 to 10. According to 77% of respondents, the number of attendees has already surpassed 2019 levels or will in 2024. Cost and health and safety issues are the two factors most likely to have an impact on the number of attendees. Europe Compared to respondents from North America and Latin America, meeting professionals in Europe anticipate moderate growth in activity in 2019. Internal meetings will still be a major component of European meeting agendas. According to respondents, 52% of meetings will take place in hotels, 48% would call for overnight accommodations, and 46% will be held in locations other than the business headquarters. The region has the lowest anticipated domestic air travel for guests, at 33%, which is perhaps not a surprise. Pacific Asia In terms of organizations that have already established corporate net zero goals, Asia Pacific is in the lead with 63%. 74% of respondents in the Asia Pacific region state that sustainability is very important or extremely important for their organization, and 67% report that sustainability has been heavily included into their meeting activities. Meeting planners in Latin America anticipate increasing meeting space availability in 2024 while expecting hotel room availability to remain constant. Nearly half (48%) of respondents expressed anxiety about location availability.
