Why business travel is booming in smaller destinations around the world

Wood Works - How eco-friendly timber is enabling the rise of “ply-scrapers” around the world

Anyone considering future-proof career options—a data scientist, perhaps, or an AI engineer—may want to add woodworker or even lumberjack to their list. This is not in case we all suddenly find ourselves, in some postapocalypse scenario, in need of log cabins to live in. Rather, it is because a growing number of architects, working with new high-tech engineered wood products as strong as steel and concrete, are already imagining tomorrow’s cities with towering timber skylines.

Foreseeable Future - Marketing and advertising exec Mark Penn reveals how Al can enhance business travel

In 2015 Mark Penn, a pollster, trendspotter and former chief strategist at Microsoft, created a marketing services firm in Washington, D.C.

His biggest backer was ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who pitched in $250 million.

World Fairs - As Art Basel prepares for its annual shows in Paris and Miami, CEO Noah Horowitz discusses the cultural and financial impact of the globe's premier contemporary art event

Art basel ceo Noah Horowitz isn’t used to doing things the old-fashioned way. Before stepping up to lead the largest, most prestigious art fair operator in the world, he was Basel’s director of the Americas, in charge of the company’s most contemporary-leaning show in Miami Beach. Now he turns his attention from one of the youngest major art cities in the world to one of the oldest: Paris.

Beyond the Beach - Why Miami's Coconut Grove is booming

Miami’s oceanfront neighborhoods may grab international attention, but other parts of town offer as much appeal. The entire city is booming with development, says Jaclyn Bild, a broker associate with Douglas Elliman who was born and brought up in Miami. “The beating heart of Miami is now on the mainland, whereas before it was all about the Beach,” she says. “Neighborhoods that have been around forever are transforming into trend centers, and others are burgeoning for the first time.”

Dry Season - How resorts and wineries are adapting their programs to attract nondrinking visitors

Resort and Spa in Napa, California, it has always been about wine—with a location just minutes from top wineries, a restaurant with an extensive wine list, and rooms looking out over working vineyards. Since its opening in 2006, it has been inherently clear that this hotel caters largely to oenophiles. But after a twoyear $25 million renovation completed earlier this year, there have been a few notable additions to the premises: new rooms, a refreshed lobby and expanded bar, as well as a newfound emphasis on speaking to a sober or sober-curious audience.
