Buzzwords abound in travel & tour­ism.  Singapore’s respons­ible tour­ism pion­eer, Kev­in Phun, excels in unbox­ing the premises and prac­tic­al­it­ies bundled with­in buzzwords … and in demon­strat­ing how they are rel­ev­ant. He has to be good at that in Singa­pore, a pros­per­ous city state whose inbound tour­ism stake­hold­ers might be for­giv­en for think­ing they don’t have […]

At a women’s retreat that starts soon, Sonia Ter­uel would like par­ti­cipants to “rein­force [their] fem­in­ine essence, and to flow with life and the nat­ur­al cycles” so as to more effect­ively work on the three rela­tion­ships of regen­er­a­tion (and regen­er­at­ive tour­ism).
