From the Editor
In a world today where media and content are almost invariably trending in the direction of the digital and away from the physical, we at Middle East Travel & Tourism are proud to be among the few media companies willing to buck this trend and invest in a tangible editorial product that is as much a work of art – we hope- as it is an enriching and stimulating journey through the developments within the region’s tourism and hospitality industry today.
We believe that there is still enormous intrinsic value in a quality publication that can be held, thumbed through, and admired in the real world. The physical magazine choices that adorn today’s office receptions, conference tables, executive desks, and hotel lobbies around the world are as much a statement of the quality of the establishment they adorn as they are an indication of pride in our industry.
We are, therefore, very proud ourselves to be able to take MET&T from the digital world where it began out into the physical world where we hope it will both enlighten and brighten your professional life and environment. As we endeavor to bring you quality content on this new journey, we also enthusiastically welcome your feedback, support, and participation.
Thank you for sharing in our belief that quality physical publications are a valuable part of the professional sphere, especially within the travel and tourism industry, and we look forward to consistently delivering a product that we all can be proud to read, display, collect, and reference for years to come.
With much admiration and respect,
John Navarre
