THE WORLD'S MOST EXCLUSIVE DESTINATIONS

Resorts is the reference magazine for the most demanding travellers. The guide to the top resorts, city hotels, lodges, spas, cruise ships and trains around the world.

Volume 35

This spring turns out to be very…tropical. Almost monsoonal.
Great turbulence characterises the airlines, their alliances and their customers. More and more new lowcost flights spring up, even among the renowned national companies. And as we witness the decline of the American ones, new stars shine in the Middle and Far East. Travellers have before themselves an ever more fluid situation and the choice is not always easy. Hence we will continue to test for you the companies we consider valid and trustworthy and which, above all, have Business and First Classes that are really what they say they are (and not just in terms of cost). In this issue we present a Trip to Italy, which is always pleasant in spring. A quick tour amid Italian excellence, but then off to the Maldives, Japan, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait and Brazil. As always our correspondents have tested the best for you – for the magazine and the Top 100 Resorts 2012 directory, which will be sent complimentary to our subscribers and also distributed internationally.
