BT Luxe Autumn – the travel issue

IT’S time to gear up for the year-end vacation season, and in the latest issue of BT Luxe, we take you around the world for some fresh travel perspectives, whether it’s a novel look at a much-visited city or exploring new destinations.

At the same time, we also put the spotlight on global players – namely, Singaporean personalities who are making an international impact in their respective fields. First up is Evan Kwee, vice-chairman of Capella Hotel Group, who tells us where he is taking his hospitality business amid changes in the travel industry, and how Capella was recognised by Travel + Leisure magazine as the world’s best hotel brand for two years in a row.

We also meet Soh Jun Wei, the second-generation leader of Redwood Interior, a global leader in luxury retail interiors, who shares how he’s building on his father’s legacy. And speaking of building, that’s what Leong Yong Shin, co-founder of robotics firm Augmentus, is doing as the company blazes its trail across the world with its robot programming that is simplifying the way manufacturers work with their machines.

Meanwhile, join our tour of places to eat around the world, see different sides of Japan, and find out how one designer’s mountain-climbing experience shaped the design of his Thai meditation retreat.

For a colourful journey, don’t miss your copy of BT Luxe in Friday’s edition of BT.
