Luxury Travel Magazine | Issue 74

IF YOU’RE FEELING A SENSE of déjà vu while reading these words you have good reason. Some 12 years after leaving Luxury Travel to embark on a new life in America, I’m very happily back home in Sydney and even more excited to be back at the helm of Australia’s leading luxury travel magazine. And let me tell you, there’s a lot going on! A new and talented editorial, design and marketing team; a new-look print magazine which I hope you will love as much as I do, and a redesigned website informing readers about remarkable luxury travel experiences around the world – and around the clock. Not to mention our dynamic new digital offering, Luxury Exclusives, providing savvy travellers with inspiration and exclusive access to global luxury travel experiences and packages. All these initiatives are perfectly timed to complement our 14th annual Gold List (see page 43), Australia’s only reader-voted, and most respected, luxury travel awards. From the many thousands of entries, this year’s Gold List proves once again that Australians are among the world’s greatest travellers and that Australia is a world-class destination in its own right. Our team will be working hard to bring you the very best in luxury travel in the coming months and years, and I’m looking forward to this journey together.
