The relationship between guest and host is sacred. We are obliged to treat visitors, friends, and strangers with kindness and respect. It is a relationship founded on trust, but rooted in the interplay of forces. Issue 246 looks at the business of hospitality: In exclusive interviews with leading experts, we learn how the travel business is transforming into a designer experience. We explore the secret world of server farms – vast new buildings where our precious data is nurtured and cared for day and night.

We also take a look at the first impression created by airport design and how wine design manages to conquer your wallet first and then your palate. You are cordially invited to join us on this journey.
