Dear
The current dominance of London on the global hospitality industry is something that still (happily) catches me off guard when on my travels. Over dinner one night last week at Amanyara, I got talking to the hotel’s sommelier who’d just returned from London on a work trip. Despite the somewhat remoteness of being on Turks & Caicos, hearing Winni, the sommelier, talk so fondly about the wine lists at Hide and 28˚~ 50˚, and her love of Dishoom (if there was one brand that could go global overnight...) there was something very pleasing about hearing our industry making waves around all parts of the world.
Also, a reminder that you still have a bit more time to take part in our Happiness in Hospitality survey - please click here.
Have a good week.
