Gleneagles – Scotland in Style
By Sarah Ratner
Gleneagles reminds me of a magical castle that I used to see in Disney films when I was a young girl. It is like the castle in Beauty and the Beast, when the Beast becomes a good person again and everything becomes beautiful. It is quite possible that this Scottish version of the fairyland fortress is just as enchanting. Therefore, when Martin and I were invited to go and visit the property, we jumped on our magic carpet and headed for Perthshire…

Abbey Road Studios – something worth singing about…
By Sarah Ratner
There are some venues that just speak for themselves; they ooze “cool” and exude exclusivity. Abbey Road Studios is effortlessly one such venue. The fact that every major artist has recorded there and that The Beatles were more or less inhabitants during a large part of their career, only serves to endorse this special quality. It is that ‘special quality’ that I instantly felt when I was invited to take a look around.

Visiting GIBTM in Abu Dhabi was a wonderful opportunity to see and learn all that Abu Dhabi has to offer our industry. From outstanding luxury 5* hotels/resorts, to Ferrari World, the F1 Race Track and the unbelievable beauty of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – Abu Dhabi affords the conference organiser and incentive booker a perfect backdrop to all that this amazing place has to hand. While Abu Dhabi may appear to be in the shadows of Dubai I certainly found this not to be the case. Care is being taken to build up the State in a sympathetic way, with the up and coming Saadinyat Island providing travellers with culture, leisure and business opportunities – with the proposed building of new Guggenheim and Louvre museums this will certainly put Abu Dhabi on the map for a “must see” visit.
