About ASTA Global River Cruise Expo

Join us for the inaugural ASTA Global River Cruise Expo taking place March 16-20, 2022 in Budapest, Hungary. This one-of-a-kind event is an ASTA first to bring together our River Cruise partners from all over the world in one place to showcase the latest and greatest in their fleets for ASTA members.

You can expect

≽ Exclusive access to numerous ship inspections
≽ Meet and socialize with the senior leaders of the premier River Cruise brands
≽ Visit and experience the River cruise destinations that will amaze and delight your clients

Why Budapest?

Budapest is to river cruising what Miami & Fort Lauderdale are to ocean cruising. River cruising is one of the fastest-growing market segments, with advisors making 18% with no non-commissionable fees (NCFs).

There are more river cruise companies on the Danube for the advisors’ clients than anywhere in the world. The hotels and major attractions are directly on the river – literally across the street from the port. And, air access is easy from the United States.

If you have not been lucky enough to have visited Budapest yet, the ships arriving in Budapest dock on the PEST side of the river, only minutes away from the city center. Ships are docked at Belgrad Rakpart Port (Mahart – International Passenger or Drava Street Port), usually between the Liberty (Szabadság) and Chain (Széchenyi) bridges.

About ASTA

Rebranded in 2018 as the American Society of Travel Advisors, ASTA is the leading global advocate for travel advisors, the travel industry and the traveling public. Its members represent 80 percent of all travel sold in the United States through the travel agency distribution channel. Together with hundreds of internationally-based members, ASTA’s history of industry advocacy traces back to its founding in 1931 when it launched with the mission to facilitate the business of selling travel through effective representation, shared knowledge and the enhancement of professionalism.

Belgrade International Tourism Fair 2022

Written by Leandro Agostini on November 12, 2021. Posted in Featured events, Destination news.

November 12 2021 – Belgrade International Tourism Fair wants to make you feel special in a city whose heart beats day-in and day-out.

After a successful business day, when the fair bustle subsides, know that you are not done yet, because Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, has always a special atmosphere in store for you.

This atmosphere is made up of interesting people who you will meet and discuss music, film, fashion, gastronomy – again business, because all those things simply make tourism fair so special.

Belgrade International Tourism fair

We are looking forward to seeing you at Belgrade Fair between 24 and 27 February 2022!

When something lasts for more than forty years, then it’s hard to say something is enchanting, refreshing, or perhaps new.

It may be sufficed to say: Here we are again and moving on, always here for you to make your business, as well as your private plans and dreams come true.

These dreams are usually about traveling, whether you are in charge of organizing them or perhaps traveling alone. In this day and age, travelling has more than ever become a way of life, an escape from reality and ever more so an opportunity to learn and see something new.

For all the said reasons, we will not list what the fair has to offer, instead we will simply remind you that… meeting old friends and associates followed by a firm handshake and sincere smile fills your heart with joy, whilst new acquaintances provide you with enough energy to see your new ideas and business opportunities through.

Many people from across the globe, different cultures and habits from more than 50 countries will make you feel like a cosmopolitan. Delicious food and fine wines will trigger all your senses. Do not expect a “sterile” atmosphere, as the Balkan soul is difficult to tame, it seeks music and rhythm from the stands and the stage. This year’s country’s partner Egypt is inviting you to re-visit, discover and share your experiences with your loved ones.

# B2Belgradefair2021

Belgrade Tourism Fair has been maintaining tradition for 40 years and fulfilling world standards of business, building partnership relations with exhibitors and business visitors. For those who like traveling, there are numerous attractive and exotic destinations that are presented through an interesting and spacious program at stalls and fairgrounds.

Beijing Winter Olympics – fully prepared for in civil aviation, security, snow making and broadcasting

Written by Leandro Agostini on November 10, 2021. Posted in Featured events, Destination news, Sports.

Statements from various departments exhibit full preparation for and confidence in the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, as authorities in civil aviation, public security and broadcasting, and teams for snowmaking and meteorology said they are fully prepared.

Beijing Winter Olympics

The Global Times learned from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on Wednesday that Beijing Capital International Airport will be the only official port of entry for the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

The airport will use T3-D independent closed terminals as entry channels for international arrivals, and T3-C and T3-E terminals for international departures with closed-loop management, Sun Jianying, an official from the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, said on Wednesday.

From October 3 to November 9, a total of 85 flights related to the Olympics including 49 arrivals, 33 departures, and one freighter with a total of 2,380 passengers were processed with high efficiency and tight closed-loop control, data from the CAAC showed.

The Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said on Tuesday that the security work for the Winter Olympics has entered the competition stage.

Some of the venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics are conducting test events and taking on other events. Since October 4, the security team at the National Sliding Center has entered closed-loop management for security work, with staff manning their posts 24 hours a day and conducting daily safety checks.

“We use the test events as a practice ground for Winter Olympic Games security and work, according to the standards and requirements of the Games,” an officer from the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said.

The snowmaking team, the most important supporting team for snow sports, will use high technology to produce high-quality and environmentally friendly snow for the Games.

Through numerous tests, the Beijing Winter Olympics snowmaking team established the territorial parameters of the Yanqing and Zhangjiakou competition areas to create “ice-like snow” adapted to the characteristics of Beijing’s continental monsoon climate.

In order to cope with possible extreme weather, the team experimented with early snowmaking, which is to make and store snow beforehand in low temperatures and use it in the following winter.

Meteorological security is another field that the organizing committee has stressed, Wang Gengchen, head of the research team for the Beijing Winter Olympics’ meteorological security, told the Global Times on Wednesday.

Since the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics are scattered and some of them are located in the mountains, there is a big challenge to weather forecasting, Wang said.

“The Beijing Winter Olympics has set up an experts’ team specializing in meteorology, which is strictly adopting different forecasting strategies for different venues to guarantee meteorological security refinement.

“Currently, the meteorological security experts’ team has conducted several batches of drills and has been on standby.”

In late October, China Central Television (CCTV) launched a new channel, CCTV-16, which is specially dedicated to Olympics-related programs, including live broadcasts.

As of November 7, the channel had a cumulative audience of over 56.43 million viewers, and it is available in all 31 provincial-level regions in the Chinese mainland, covering nearly 300 million subscribers.

In terms of broadcasting, the channel uses advanced 5G, 8K and artificial intelligence technologies. Currently, it broadcasts other special quality programs, as well as social and cultural activities to warm up for the Winter Olympics.

China’s State Language Commission has created the world’s largest multilingual terminology corpus for the Winter Olympics, covering eight languages and including every term related to the competition events of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the first of its kind in the history of language services for the Winter Olympics.

The Beijing Winter Olympics will take place from February 4-20, 2022 in Beijing, its Yanqing district, and neighboring Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province.

Bulgari Resort Los Angeles Announced for 2024

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 15, 2021. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

October 15, 2021 –

Bulgari Hotels & Resort announced that an agreement has been signed with owner and developer Gary Safady, for a new luxury resort in Los Angeles. The new Bulgari Resort, scheduled to open in 2025, is set to be the second Bulgari property in the US, following the opening of the Miami property in 2024. The Bulgari Resort Los Angeles is expected to be the twelfth property in the Bulgari Hotels & Resorts collection.

The Bulgari Resort Los Angeles, located in the Santa Monica Mountains, less than five miles from Rodeo Drive, will be nestled amongst 33 acres of a stunning hillside park, surrounded by natural wildlife and remarkable views. Plans call for 58 rooms and suites, eight private estates and the signature Bulgari Il Ristorante – Niko Romito – as well as a 10,000 square foot Spa, a state-of-the-art-gym, offering Bulgari’s exclusive Workshop training method, a cinema and an exclusive eight-seat sushi bar.

A good portion of the hotel’s guest rooms and suites will be located in secluded bungalows studded across the eastern half of the property, adjacent to the property’s carefully curated amenities.

The Resort’s eight residential properties will range in size from 12,000 to 48,000 square feet, each with private land of at least one acre and as large as five. The unrivaled topography of Los Angeles’ canyons, allows for vast open space and privacy, giving each home a distinctive setting while preserving the area’s ridgeline and protecting its flora and fauna.

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding natural environment, the contemporary architecture of the building will be curated by the well-known South African design firm Studio SAOTA, while the Milanese architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, that designed all the other Bulgari Hotels projects, will bring Italian design to the building’s interiors.

Additionally, the Bulgari Resort Los Angeles’s landscape design will be created by the award- winning Swiss landscape architect firm, ENEA, known for its work on the internationally recognized Tree Museum as well as his design of the Bulgari Hotel Beijing iconic garden. The combination of these internationally recognized design firms is set to create one of the most integrated, environmentally sensitive developments that the community and the City of Los Angeles has been presented with in a generation.

The resort, formerly known as The Retreat, will be built in line with the most stringent environmental criteria certified by LEED and only the highest sustainable building practices will be used to ensure minimal environmental impact.

The project is subject to the final approvals of the City Council and Planning Authorities of the City of Los Angeles.

Bulgari’s CEO Jean-Christophe Babin said: “We are extremely happy and proud to announce the signing of definitive agreements to develop the new Bulgari Resort in Los Angeles, the capital of cinema and art which has always been a major Bulgari inspiration from the time of Liz Taylor to the most recent Academy Awards. The new Bulgari gem represents an extraordinary achievement for the brand to establish in such a key destination for the luxury industry. Following the signing of Bulgari Hotel Miami Beach, we are excited to expand into the US market providing our remarkable Roman jeweler hospitality experience.”

Bulgari Resort Los Angeles’ developer Gary Safady adds: “We are delighted to partner with Bulgari Hotels & Resorts to bring the most sophisticated and luxurious retreat to Los Angeles. Bulgari is the epitome of luxury lifestyle and we look forward to creating an unparalleled experience of indoor/outdoor living through our enclave of suites, bungalows and private homes that truly embrace and support the surrounding environment and wildlife. The eight extraordinary private estates will be available for sale in the near future.”

Safady adds: “As part of our ongoing commitment to the City of Los Angeles, the surrounding community and the environment, we will be supporting several non-profit initiatives in Los Angeles, including but not limited to, a seven-figure contribution as part of our effort to ensure this project continues its focus of using business as a force for good.”

Chris Hannan, Executive Secretary for the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO notes of the project: “I, along with the Building Trades Council, stand side-by-side with Gary Safady to bring the exciting Bulgari Resort Los Angeles to life. As a former union card holder, Gary has continued to demonstrate his long-time commitment to working families and we look forward to constructing this resort with him on this environmentally friendly project that we trust will fund hundreds of good union jobs, bring money to the city, preserve open canyon space, and welcome the community to engage with the project.”

IHG Debuts InterContinental and Hotel Indigo Brands in Peru

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 15, 2021. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

October 15, 2021 –

IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) yesterday announces the debut of both the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and Hotel Indigo brands in Peru, with two new properties now under construction in the capital city of Lima. The Hotel Indigo Lima Miraflores will also be the brand’s first property in South America. Both hotels are expected to open in early 2022 and will be owned by Inmobiliaria Vistamar and managed by IHG.

The InterContinental Lima Miraflores and Hotel Indigo Lima Miraflores will be located next to each other in the vibrant epicenter of Miraflores, steps away from Larcomar, the city’s bustling commercial center which offers the finest dining, entertainment and shopping in Lima.

Elie Maalouf, Chief Executive Officer, Americas, IHG, said: “Our portfolio of brands continues to expand throughout Latin America thanks to relationships with passionate owners such as Inmobiliaria Vistamar. Peru is thriving with one of the strongest economies in the region, and we are pleased to introduce these leading global luxury and lifestyle brands to business and leisure travelers in the market.”

Gonzalo de Losada, Chief Executive Officer, Inmobiliaria Vistamar, said: “We are very proud to be partnering with IHG to bring these two world-renowned brands to Peru, and build on InterContinental’s legacy in Latin America. We look forward to providing luxury and unique experience-led stays to the most discerning travelers in the world.”

The property will also offer its exclusive Club InterContinental lounge, 1,000 square meters of meeting space and will include the largest outdoor hotel pool in Lima, measuring more than 17 meters (56 feet) in length.

The Hotel Indigo Lima Miraflores will be a boutique hotel featuring 76 guest rooms, including six luxury suites, an upscale, locally inspired restaurant and bar, and a fitness center. Additionally, the hotel will offer lush gardens for guests of both hotels for outdoor functions and will include underground parking with street access to the area’s main thoroughfare on Alcanfores Street.

Two of the most prestigious architecture and design firms from South America are leading the architecture and hotel design of both properties. Fuenzalida & Swinburn Architect and Associates is the project architect and German Margozzini – Arquitectura Diseño Interior Hospitality Spa is overseeing the hotels’ interior design and décor.

Peru continues to be one of South America’s fastest-growing emerging markets, providing a strong economic environment for IHG’s diverse portfolio of brands.

Japan’s Henn na Hotel Group roars into New York City

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 12, 2021. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

October 12, 2021 –

The 92-key Henn na New York brings something different to one of the world’s most competitive hospitality markets.

Entering the US in style

Venturing out of Japan for the very first time, Henn na Hotel Group has made its international debut with the launch of a fun scheme at 235 West 35th Street in the US’ largest city. Henn na New York, which opened on 1 October 2021, joins the 20 other properties in its portfolio, offering a stylish and tech-forward stay paired with playful hospitality experiences.

Located at the point that some of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods meet, the hotel provides easy access to the Garment District, Hudson Yards and High Line Park, as well as Midtown Manhattan. Its 92 king and double guestrooms and Gosuke restaurant are accompanied by a signature feature of Henn na Hotels, a five-foot animatronic T-Rex model prominently positioned in the lobby.

Impressive Japanese amenities

The accommodation here is designed for both business and leisure travellers, with amenities including deep tubs, streaming TV, wifi, CO Bigelow bath products, luxury Kassatex linens and kimono waffle robes, as well as Toto Washlets in all the bathrooms. Executive rooms and suites come with LG Styler Closets for steaming and refreshing clothes, and suites also feature deep-soaking tubs and private balconies.

Guests and locals can dine at the first-floor Japanese restaurant, Gosuke, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner each day of the week. Acclaimed executive chef Isami Nagai is behind the culinary offering, which encompasses fresh sushi, sashimi and other authentic Japanese specialties.

Henn na Hotels is known for pioneering the robot hotel trend in Japan, with animatronic hosts undertaking basic functions such as guest check-in and luggage storage. In New York, however, real people will look after the front desk and other guest services.
