“A significant development for us this year has been the launch of Somewhere Fine, our curated hotel booking platform featuring selected exceptional hotels with preferred rates and benefits. We are seeing strong interest in experience-led journeys, from Arctic travel and wildlife to expedition cruising and remote stays. Over the next 6–12 months, we see strong potential in the Nordic region, Australia, Africa and Antarctica, alongside expedition travel, wildlife journeys and smaller luxury cruises. The hotel is playing a bigger role in deciding where people travel. A remarkable lodge, private island, heritage property or remote retreat can start an itinerary. Clients are better informed than ever.”
