Yardley, PA, June 2, 2011 – Global Traveler, the only monthly magazine for business and luxury travelers, added the Airline of the Year and Hotel of the Year awards to its annual list of the best in business travel.

A committee of selected employees and Advisory Board members will select the Airline/Hotel of the Year. Thirty-two airlines and 17 hotels have been invited to participate; the companies must submit their application forms no later than Aug. 31, 2011.

The 2011 Year Committee will make the final decisions in September. The winners will be announced in the December issue, in conjunction with the GT Tested Reader Survey awards.

“The GT Tested Reader Survey awards are specific and based on readers’ travel experience, which is valuable information,” said Francis X. Gallagher, publisher and CEO, Global Traveler. “We added the new awards to take into account influences beyond travel experience, such as financials, on-time arrivals, occupancy rates and amenities. We take into account the back end of the business with these awards, as well as customer experience. How companies behave internally affects the travelers’ experience.”

This The Ritz-Carlton Resort Sets a New Standard in Afternoon Tea

Attributed to the afternoon hunger pangs of Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, the tradition of afternoon tea or “high tea” has become a treasured worldwide custom. Since its introduction in England back in 1840 when the Duchess satisfied herself with a simple menu of bread, butter, cake and tea, afternoon tea has developed into an often lavish affair with finely crafted pastries and sweets, Champagne, and exotic tea blends.

Escape to the Côte d’Azur Any Season of the Year

It had been a long, rainy winter in Paris when I first made my escape to the French Riviera, a region in the south of France stretching along the coast from the France–Italy border to the Massif de l’Esterel rock formation. A deep craving for the sun’s warm breath on my shoulders and a longing to drift asleep to the wild crashing of waves pulled me toward my southern sojourn as if by instinct.

La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St. Martin Review

I recently visited La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, located on Baie Longue (Long Bay) on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Although most of the resort is on the French side of St. Martin, a very small piece sits on the Dutch side, Sint-Maarten, making it possible to walk from France to Holland, and back again, by taking two steps. Of course, since most of the resort’s guests speak English, everyone working at the resort speaks English as well.
