    MILAROCA, A BELMOND HOTEL, RIVIERA NAYARIT OPENING 2025

    Belmond, the visionary leader in luxury travel, has entered into a management agreement with Cora Pacific Development, led by entrepreneur duo Barbara Machen and Rosetta Getty, for Milaroca, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Nayarit on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.Designed by a team of interior maestros, with curation by creative director Getty, Milaroca will be consciously and sensitively built from the ground up. 
    The signing of an agreement to manage Milaroca further strengthens Belmond’s commitment to Mexico, with its reach now extending to the country’s western region. Milaroca will join two other Belmond properties in Mexico – Casa de Sierra Nevada, a former convent built in 16th century located in the country’s heartland of San Miguel de Allende, and the reimagined Maroma in Riviera Maya on the Yucatan Peninsula which will reopen its doors this August following a complete renovation.
    “We have the incredible opportunity to craft a legend of the future with the best partners we could have asked for,” said Roeland Vos, President & CEO of Belmond. “With utmost respect to Riviera Nayarit’s multicultural history, abundant nature and the region’s carefree spirit, Milaroca will encapsulate the essence of contemporary lifestyle, creating a destination for today’s thriving creative community – a new legendary scene where new traditions are made, and long-lived rituals are celebrated.”
    Barbara Machen and Rosetta Getty said of the announcement, “Our families have been traveling together to this beautiful area of Mexico for many years. As entrepreneurs and creatives ourselves we understand the importance of the destination that inspire, and we want to share our magical experience; a place for connection, to be returned to year after year, enjoyed by family, friends and peers from around the world, a true home away from home. Milaroca will be like no other resort, and Belmond is the only hospitality brand that truly creates unique luxury experiences in this way. We could not have asked for a better partner.” 
    CONSCIOUSLY CRAFTED HOUSES ADVERTISEMENTImmersed in lush mountainous jungle and pearly-white beach stretching over 2 kilometers along Riviera Nayarit, Milaroca will be a new haven for creative minds. Led by Waldo’s Designs and Clements Design, the property’s aesthetic will draw inspiration from the region’s breathtaking beauty, storied native culture, and the bohemian spirit of nearby San Pancho and Sayulita villages.
    Milaroca will adopt low-density and non-invasive building practices. Each of the 57 guest pavilions will be a welcoming discovery with a unique collection of contemporary custom-made furniture and crafted objects from local artisans and Mexico’s most exciting contemporary artists. Every detail will be carefully considered, with interiors maintaining an intuitive symbiosis with the outdoor spaces and surrounding jungle.
    CURATED CREATIVE COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CALENDAR OF CELEBRATIONS

    Milaroca will be a buzzing unique scene for curious minds interested in the latest movements in art, fashion and music: a progressive space for tastemakers, visionaries, and artisans to come together to exchange dialogues and ignite new ideas. Guests will connect with the cultures of the Riviera Nayarit through on- and off-site programming.

    Milaroca will bring together the most interesting multi-disciplinary individuals with events, galas and global festivities, drawing inspiration from the cultures of celebrations and rituals rooted in the Cora and Huichol communities. Hosted by Milaroca’s founders, the seasonal soirees – from the New Year’s Eve celebration to the annual summer party, promise to make headlines around the world.

    AN INVITATION TO BE PART OF THE LEGEND: PRIVATE VILLAS AT MILAROCA
    Milaroca will introduce a “by invitation-only” opportunity to own one of 27 uniquely-designed private villas serviced by Belmond. These villas will be part of a thriving creative community and will enjoy Milaroca’s coveted facilities, vibrant cultural programming and the in-residence service and experiences crafted by Belmond’s unrivaled hospitality – centered in warmth, attentiveness, intimacy and personalization.

    Marriott to Launch Luxury Safari Lodge in the Serengeti

    Marriott International, Inc., has announced that it has signed an agreement with Delaware Investment Limited to open its first JW Marriott luxury safari lodge in the Serengeti, Tanzania. Expected to open in 2026, the lodge will be situated within the Serengeti National Park, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most renowned safari destinations in Africa, home to endless plains, the incredible Great Migration, and some of the largest herds on the planet.
    JW Marriott Serengeti Lodge is expected to offer 30 private suites, including two presidential suites, all of which will benefit from their own swimming pool and deck area. Additionally, extensive food, beverage and meeting facilities are planned.
    JW Marriott Serengeti Lodge will sit between the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers, benefitting from the abundant wildlife that accesses the rivers to the north and south alongside stunning views of the plains surrounding the lodge. The Serengeti National Park is an important wildlife conservation and wilderness area in sub-Saharan Africa spanning 5,700 miles². It is the starting point of one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles – the Great Migration, which involves millions of animals traveling a distance of 1,800 miles from Serengeti into the neighboring Masai Mara between June and September. The “Big Five,” including lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros, and African elephant can also be found in Serengeti.
    “We are delighted to partner with Delaware Investment Limited for this landmark project in the Serengeti, an exciting new destination for the brand, which also signifies our growing commitment to offering enriching experiences for our guests,” said Jenni Benzaquen, SVP, Brand Portfolio Europe, Middle East and Africa at Marriott International.
    Serengeti is located approximately 660 kilometers north-west of Dodoma in Tanzania, sharing a border with Kenya. The closest and easiest way to reach the camp is from the Grumeti airstrip, located a 25-minute drive from the site. International visitors can access the lodge from Kilimanjaro International Airport followed by a domestic flight to an airstrip in Serengeti or an eight-hour drive with scenic views of the vast savannas and wildlife along the route.ADVERTISEMENT“It’s a very exciting moment for us to be able to collaborate with Marriott International to debut such a prestigious brand in one of the most iconic wildlife destinations in the world,” said Rishen Patel, Owner of Delaware Investment Limited.
    JW Marriott Serengeti Lodge will mark the brand’s second luxury safari lodge in Africa, following the opening of JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge earlier this year in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Marriott International currently operates more than 120 properties in Africa across its portfolio.

    Wyndham Rewards’ New ‘Cubicle Caddie’ is a Hole-in-One for Golfers

    Anyone for a round of golf? With flexible work arrangements on the rise, people are redefining where, when and how they do their best work. Free from eight-hour days in the office, schedules now bend and flex, creating new opportunities to balance work with play. Enter the Wyndham Rewards® Cubicle Caddie, a first-of-its kind tricked out golf cart helping avid golfers worry less about being away from their desk this summer and more about missing par.
    Caddies are known for being the ultimate wingmen in the game of golf, helping players unlock their full potential while always having their back in tricky and unexpected situations. The Wyndham Rewards Cubicle Caddie does the same, providing golfers with the tools they need to knock out that unavoidable Zoom call before effortlessly returning their focus to the game. With a retractable green screen, detachable desk, 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, noise cancelling headphones, wrinkle-free blazer and more—there’s no better office-on-the-go. The Cubicle Caddie even comes with a built-in escape button —think a barking dog, crying baby or an interrupting co-worker— that golfers can trigger with just one press, letting colleagues know it’s time to wrap the call.
    The Wyndham Rewards Cubicle Caddie comes at a time when weekday afternoon golf is on the rise—a recent Stanford study showed a 278% increase in Wednesday afternoon play last year vs. 2019—and is endorsed by avid golfer and entrepreneur Jason Tartick. Best known for his popular business podcast, ‘Trading Secrets’ and bringing his Buffalo charm to the Bachelor franchise, Tartick offers pointers for mixing work and play successfully.
    “Don’t think of it as blowing off work—think of it as blowing off steam so you can focus on the day’s to-do list feeling refreshed and recharged,” said Tartick. “As a veteran corporate banker and entertainment personality, I know balancing business and pleasure has always been par for the course. That’s the beauty of The Wyndham Rewards Cubicle Caddie. Whether you’re waiting to tee off or just coming through the turn, it makes the switch from play to work and back again easier than ever before. It’s a hole-in-one.”
    “We know our members are spending less time in the office and more time working from unconventional places and so, the Cubicle Caddie was born,” said Dana Rosenberg, SVP Marketing, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Golf is a much-needed escape for so many and now, thanks to the Cubicle Caddie, our members can take advantage of that escape without worrying about what to do should the office come calling. Best of all, at no extra cost to use, it’s just one more way Wyndham is rewarding members this summer.”ADVERTISEMENTThe Wyndham Rewards Cubicle Caddie is available at select golf courses this summer, just ahead of the 2023 Wyndham Championship. Participating hotels and resorts—all of which are part of Wyndham’s newly launched Golf Collection—are:
    Cheyenne Mountain Resort, A Dolce by Wyndham (Colorado Springs, CO)Grandover Resort & Spa, a Wyndham Grand Hotel (Greensboro, NC)Club Wyndham Orange Tree Resort (Scottsdale, AZ)Club Wyndham Palm-Aire (Pompano Beach, FL)Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort (Rio Grande, PR)Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ Golf Collection encompasses more than 40 hotels and resorts situated on some of the most picturesque and pristine greens around the world and is the perfect complement to the Company’s growing portfolio of all-inclusive, lifestyle, upscale and luxury offerings around the globe.

    TUI EXPANDS THE NUMBER OF HOTELS WITH THE ‘GREEN & FAIR’ LABEL BY NEARLY 50%

    TUI, one of the world’s leading tourism businesses, has increased the number of ‘Green & Fair’ labelled hotels on offer to customers to 997, an increase of nearly 50%.The ‘Green & Fair’ label, first introduced in November 2022, highlights hotels that have been independently certified in line with strict sustainability credentials, known as the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Criteria.
    The GSTC Criteria works as the worldwide standard for sustainability in travel and tourism and is focused around four key areas: sustainable management; environmental protection; social and economic support of the local community and recognising and promoting cultural heritage. Examples of this include favouring local suppliers, measuring energy consumption and taking steps to minimise overall consumption and promoting reusable, returnable and recycled goods.

    Richard Sofer, Commercial Director at TUI, said: “We know making sustainable choices is becoming more and more important to our customers and we launched our Green & Fair label to make it easy for them to see which hotels offer the best sustainable options.  We’re delighted so many more of our hotel partners have now been certified as meeting the robust GSTC criteria and are proud to label them Green & Fair.  By staying in a Green & Fair hotel, your holiday choice goes a few steps further to help our planet and worldwide communities. We want customers to be able to integrate sustainability into their entire holiday, which is why, as well as choosing a Green & Fair hotel, they can also select from a wide range of Green & Fair labelled experiences.”
    ADVERTISEMENTTUI’s Green & Fair experiences have a positive impact on the local community and minimise environmental impact. The Green & Fair experiences include many from the TUI Collection portfolio of enriching, more sustainable experiences, led by expert guides that deliver unique local insights. From volcanic tours in the Canaries to family adventures in Turkey, TUI customers can effortlessly make sustainable choices whilst on their holiday.

    And customers can take some more simple actions by following these top tips:
    Reduce plastic waste by using bars of soap, shampoo and conditioner, rather than bottles.Protect marine life by using chemical-free suncream during beach trips.Bring reusable bottles instead of using single-use plastic bottles.Remember to bring a bag for life in your suitcase for shopping.Save water and don’t wash towels daily.
    And choosing more sustainable options doesn’t mean customers have to compromise on choice or price. TUI currently offers Green & Fair hotels across some of the globe’s must-see cities, beaches and mountain spots, from Las Vegas and Cancun to Slovenia and Cyprus.

    For every Green & Fair booking made, TUI currently donates £1 per adult and 50p per child to the TUI Care Foundation, which has programmes across the globe to protect natural environments and empower the people living in holiday destinations.

    PLANS TO BUILD THE BAHAMAS’ FIRST CORAL GENE BANK

    Atlantis Paradise Island, a global leader in marine life conservation, will be home to The Bahamas’ first coral gene bank, making strides in the global fight against Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), an affliction decimating coral populations in The Bahamas and beyond.Nearly half of The Bahamas and Caribbean’s reef-building coral species are susceptible to SCTLD. Of the 45 reef-building coral species within the region, more than half can catch the disease, including some of the slowest-growing and longest-lived species such as brain, pillar and star corals. Coral survival rate of SCTLD is extremely low and once infected, corals can die within weeks.
    Signed into effect on May 18th, The Bahamas Coral Gene Bank at Atlantis Paradise Island (BCGB) is a collaboration between Atlantis and its 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Atlantis Blue Project Foundation (ABPF), The Bahamas Ministry of Agriculture, Marine Resources and Family Island Affairs, Perry Institute for Marine Science (PIMS) and University of The Bahamas. Under this agreement, Atlantis and ABPF will support the effort to build and equip a biosecure facility to save the most vulnerable coral species from SCTLD until they can be safely returned to the reefs.
    In its 25-year history, Atlantis has established itself as a leader in sustainable tourism with ongoing work to protect, rehabilitate and conserve marine life in The Bahamas. The Atlantis team makes decisions guided by current and future environmental, social and economic impacts. The resort’s innovative, progressive, passion-driven approach to preserving paradise underscores every aspect of the iconic destination resort, from family-friendly activities to diverse dining offerings.
    When visiting Atlantis, guests have a unique opportunity to contribute to marine life conservation. Proceeds from all experiences at the resort’s world-class marine habitats and Dolphin Cay directly fund ABPF initiatives. Most recently, Atlantis, ABPF and Perry Institute for Marine Science led a coral out planting excursion using coral fragments harvested from nurseries at the resort, and replanted a nearby coral reef to accelerate the process of ecosystem replenishment.
    The Atlantis Blue Project Foundation is championing the efforts to preserve marine life in The Bahamas. The foundation has successfully financed the country’s first coral reef report card, which involved surveying over 400 reefs to determine the extent of damage and predict recovery after natural disasters. They have established 25 coral nurseries and planted thousands of corals to aid in the growth of depleted reefs. Their efforts have also contributed to creating 1.4 million acres of Marine Protected Areas on the west side of Andros Island and the designation of 17 marine protected areas with coral reefs in The Bahamas. Additionally, the foundation has provided funding for the implementation of coral reef education programs in schools throughout the country.ADVERTISEMENTThe Bahamas Coral Gene Bank at Atlantis will allow marine biologists and students to rescue, preserve, study and grow coral species in a controlled environment. The BCGB will house up to 600 coral colonies of more than 15 species vulnerable to SCTLD and will be designed to allow for coral propagation, producing tens of thousands of offspring annually. The BCBG will safeguard genetic diversity and foster coral breeding for reef regeneration and restoration.
    “We have a responsibility to the ecosystems surrounding us, and establishing The Bahamas Coral Gene Bank is our next step in the ongoing effort to protect our reefs and stop Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease. The Atlantis team is proud of its commitment to conserving marine life and restoring our oceans. As we celebrate World Ocean Month, we aim to raise greater awareness and education to the local and global community about the critical environmental challenges we face,” said Audrey Oswell, President and Managing Director of Atlantis Paradise Island.
    “The Bahamas Coral Gene Bank at Atlantis Paradise Island goes beyond coral rescue—it is about securing the future of Bahamian reefs,” said Michele Liu, Senior Vice President of Atlantis Marine and Water Park Operations and Board Member of Atlantis Blue Project Foundation. “Through this initiative, our goal is to preserve critical marine life and safeguard the livelihood of future generations, which has been the goal of Atlantis Blue Project Foundation since its inception in 2005.”
    World Ocean Month will be celebrated throughout June at Atlantis with various fun and educational activities for guests of all ages as well as its team members. These include coastal restoration community events, mangrove seedling plantings, ocean conservation talks, ocean-themed culinary adventures for kids, aquatic-themed movies celebrating all things aquatic, and a special scavenger hunt as part of the World Ocean Month experience at Atlantis.

This partnership with Halsey and Hard Rock will provide critical funds to support and grow our work so that we can impact even more LGBTQIA+ people.”ADVERTISEMENT“Outright International is delighted and proud to partner with Hard Rock and Halsey to celebrate the resilience and joy of the LGBTIQIA+ community and elevate Outright’s work advocating for the human rights of LGBTIQIA+ people around the world,” said Elise Colomer-Cheadle, Director of Development & Corporate Engagement at Outright International. “Through our collaboration this June, Hard Rock and Halsey will help extend the impact of Outright’s work, elevating the voices of LGBTQIA+ activists around the globe and amplifying the issues impacting LGBTQIA+ communities.
