It's time for Asia

It's time for Asia

This year's World Travel Awards are testimony to the shift in global attention towards Asia. Entries from the continent swept the accolades.

After almost 20 years in the running, the World Travel Awards has established itself as the ultimate authority in global travel and hospitality. This year, a total of about 210,000 travel industry professionals and consumers from around the world cast their votes and bestowed India with the big prize of the World's Leading Destination. Asia and the Middle East hogged the top spot in several categories with a long list of prizes. The Jumeirah at Etihad Towers won the first prize as the world's leading new hotel, while Qatar won big with Doha voted as the world's leading business travel destination, Qatar Airways for being the leading airline for business class travel, and Regency Travel & Tours won the world's leading travel agency award.

Korean Air was voted most innovative airline, Cathay Pacific won for its economy class, and Singapore's Changi Airport won best airport for the third consecutive year. The world of luxury now has a new global address, and with each passing year it's scaling new heights.

Made to measure

British fashion house Alexander McQueen is the latest to jump aboard the bespoke bandwagon. Restricting this new service to a male clientele, the brand's customised made-to-measure wing will be launched in June at the brand's flagship store on London's Bond Street. The initiative is a result of the partnership between the clothing brand and tailor, Huntsman, and the bespoke coat costs up to 4,500. Customers will have the option of choosing between a singlebreasted dinner jacket, a black cashmere doublebreasted overcoat and a black-and-white Prince of Wales check suit, where each piece will be completed within 12 weeks.
