Dear Readers,
Well, the days are starting to get longer, which means that summer is fast approaching! Now is about the time that people are starting to think about where to go on their summer holidays.
If you’re having difficulties choosing where to go on your hols, then the answer to your troubles is the Bahrain International Travel Expo, Bahrain’s biggest travel and tourism exhibition, which takes place this May. You’ll find it featured in this issue, along with an interview with the man behind the mission, Jamil Wafa.
While on the subject of tourism, Bahrain is beginning to research how it can fulfil its own tourism potential, and we speak to the man heading up Bahrain’s Tourism Marketing and Promotion Project, Mohammed Nass. He tells us about how he is going to ‘gift wrap’ Bahrain for the world!
This month, we also interview Bernard Viola, the new manager at the Ritz-Carlton, as well as George Williams, the man who’s run the Gulf Daily News for three decades, who’s featured in our Personality Profile.
Our Entrepreneur this month is Chris Poullaides, who started his own construction company here six years ago, and for our Diplomatic Talk, we speak to the Thai Ambassador to Bahrain, HE Suphat Chitranukroh.
As you have probably noticed from the cover, this month brings you our quarterly property feature. In it, you will find an in-depth review of the property market in Bahrain as it stands today, with expert advice and contributions from a range of leading authorities in the field of real-estate, from architects to investors.
You will also find updates on the development of several of the most exciting projects currently taking place, as well as a profile of an exciting new player in the market.
As far as eating out goes, this month it’s all about themed dining for us, as we bring you a complete round-up of all the theme nights taking place in restaurants, pubs and café’s across the kingdom. Steak nights, curry nights, buffets and BBQs, you’ll find a bit of everything in these pages.
Happy munching!
