Travel has always been about connecting people, discovering new cultures and opening doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain unexplored. Yet, for all its remarkable ability to bring the world closer together, the travel and tourism industry has often operated within its own boundaries, missing valuable opportunities to engage with other sectors, exchange ideas and develop partnerships that could shape a more resilient and interconnected future. For Laurie Myers, Founder and Global Strategist of the Global Resilience Network (GRN), this represented both a challenge and an extraordinary opportunity.

A private yacht charter, by contrast, can feel thrillingly free and discreet, but usually comes with eye-watering costs, logistical difficulties and a relative lack of fancy facilities like spa treatments and on-board entertainment. The latest launches and expansions from respected names in hospitality occupy...
Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences. A fourth category – computer science – was announced earlier this year in a move that is fully in keeping with the original vision of Run Run Shaw, the late Hong Kong film mogul and legendary philanthropist, who set everything in motion.

Chancellor John Healey will set out his plans for UK taxes on 28 October.
The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed.
